Backstory: Peter’s Crazy Teacher was teaching us our Maths but was asked to teach a substitute class in Gym. So wow she shows up in her grubbies! Ai-Yah! The Principal was at his windows with binoculars and all the boys were like uuuunnngggggghhhhh! The Discipline Teacher approached her kindly at the end of the class and said that next time she has to wear full length sweat pants and a top!
We all did Jane Fonda and then we swam! Funnest gym class I have ever had! No competition for she seems to realize that competitions favor boys born in January and February, since they are the biggest!
We all love Ka Yan! Let’s make a Facebook page so she gets rehired!
Her black hair should frizz a bit for her Ancestors come from all over the world.

Her feet leave not the human stain
For the Dance reconciles the pain
And makes us whole again
In sunshine or in rain.

The Green Man Teaches Art in Prison
Men! Find the artist within, especially if you are under court supervision! It’s called sublimation and it is part of civilization. I know you think you are tough guys but where life is nasty brutish and short you won’t last a minute!
When drawing the naked female, behave yourself, and don’t worry about breasts. They are not circles, anyway, they are fatty triangles and just one more cancer risk made for feeding babies.
If you are one of those artists that gets the Line right the first time, knock yourself out: but most of us are like the British artist David Hockney. We can’t draw and must Find the Form using girlie swirly lines like my Mom did when she would draw us kids!
Art ain’t knowin’ how to draw! It’s your Daemon! It’s your Wound! Let it Bleed!

There are such subtle planes in her face and she tilts it so subtly.
