Painting

Painting on canvas is the most popular art form in our studio, and is also the most challenging. Filling a blank canvas can be a daunting task and our art teacher holds the students to a high standard. The goal is for the painting to reveal each student’s individuality and soul, regardless of her level of traditional “artistic  ability.” Over time, resistance to revealing themselves eases and they embrace the challenge of expressing their emotions, personalities and perceptions through painting.

  • I Write

    by Wanda Cappas

    I write about my daughter
    how she puts a smile on
    my face each morning.
    I write about anger.
    I write about how hard it
    is to be a young mother
    and how people criticize me.
    I write about my sister
    how I missed her when
    she was away.
    I write about anything
    that crosses my mind.
    I write about my
    name, Muñeca, crazy,
    untouchable, trouble,
    Wanda.
    I write about
    me.
