-
Tidbit: Art is a powerful tool that can be used as a catalyst to discuss difficult issues such as child abuse and neglect.
-
I think of Alice Miller's work in Pictures of Childhood when considering art.
-
***Q1: What does picturing wellness mean to you?

Great to have you here Ben!

The tidbit stopped me dead in my tracks. In spring of 2010, I was investigated by DCFS for sexual abuse of Kid O. 1/2

A1 picturing wellness means diff things - finding a soothing image, picturing a healthy body, etc
-
-
A1 Art/images are so important to me to support the healthy developing mind. Conceive it - Create it!
-
a1. The ability 2 create & or evaluate an image 2 convey what you maybe loss for words about
-
-
A1) wellness in all areas, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually also think good, do good, be good, feel good
-
I encourage everyone to answer any question posed in --you don't necessarily need to go in order. ;)

A1 To me, picturing wellness means envisioning the healthy outcome you seek.

A1 about looking at own-physical-mental-spiritual make-up before we can coach others-what are we modeling
-
So true. Words so often do not do justice
-
-
Love this--the power to change endings! !

Yes-do good is HUGE-what we put out into the universe comes back to us-negative & positive https://t.co/zMAla4hb0m
-
-
A1) wellness in all areas, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually also think good, do good, be good, feel good

Q2 coming--but remember--feel free to answer any of the Qs. It's just that I know this hour is going to whiz by!!

A1 My Twitter friend , if I remember right, phrases it "I invoke and dream into being..."

A1 Picturing wellness means to me having an oasis. Means feeling as if I am safe, too.
-
***Q2: Is there room in the curriculum to talk about difficult issues like child abuse?
-
Hi Irene! Glad you could make it!!!
-
Hello, Michelle- Can't resist the visual focus with wellness. Cool topic!
-
It can be about abstract images...not having to try hard - art is. https://t.co/b80r4OGgs0
-
-
A1: (a challenge for me) seems to be a visual of what a life my look like.
-
Crystal late from Seattle
-
and these can change depending on feelings/or the person who is looking at that image
-
Love the idea and visual of an oasis!!!
-
-
a1 it can be a flow of images because wellness can mean different things given the state of mind you're in at the time
-
A1: picturing wellness means being centered in mind body and spirit for me.
-
A2: After reading FACING CODEPENDENCE, where does one start in discussing abuse?
-
-
Hi Michelle! Yes, we are so fortunate to have Dr. Wekerle with guiding us on this topic tonight!
-
A2 needs 2b-many great Lit selections deal with topic-can be door to providing Ss with safe space https://t.co/sTpCsZ6TyS

Sara, Carol ELA Consultant from Long Island still awake and ready to chat for a bit.
-
Bonjour, Jenny! (See...my French is improving! ;)
-
A1 picturing wellness is giving life to the world I see when I close my eyes and draw with my thoughts
-
-
A2 also needs to be time for counselor/social worker to come into classrooms & talk with Ss-about supporting whole child
-
Absolutely! It is a fast one! Great ideas - keep up the knowledge exchange!
-
A1 I was so close! gave me the real phrasing, "I Invoke and Dream Awake." I love that!
-
A2: Child abuse- that takes eyes and ears. Always on the look out for well being. Relationships matter.
-
A2 Perhaps but w balance. I know someone whose kid got mad & said he'd hit him.Untrue but bc teacher was mandated reporter...
-
Tonight's Q2: https://t.co/E27R9xGneI

-
Nice! https://t.co/Gp4azXjtcd
-
-
A1 My Twitter friend , if I remember right, phrases it "I invoke and dream into being..."
-
Q2 although the topic is hard it's important for everyone to know hurtful things are wrong
-
-
A2 having to create a safe space first and maybe looking at it in the angle of healthy relationships
-
-
YAY! Love having you here in
-
-
absolutely 1K people can have different views of the same picture...the beauty of art
-
-
A2 You cannot talk about child abuse without talking about DCFS and how that can ruin families.
-
-
A2 I work in an after school space so once we create the safe zone our youth can express whatever maybe holding them back
-
A2 yes-need to plan carefully. I use novels - open talk about characters, journal about self.be mindful of issues in school
-
Really important to remember https://t.co/qOwCpl9JYB
-
-
a1 it can be a flow of images because wellness can mean different things given the state of mind you're in at the time
-
YES!! Time is crucial and such an important commodity these days. We must make time for the impt. things
-
A2) the closest Ive come to it was teaching "stranger danger", inappropriate touching/ harming & what to do in K-3
-
In the end, I always say it is about relationships!
-
A2: Always need to find a time and place to discuss difficult issues like child abuse
-
A2 I think there's room for it. I think that's where trigger warnings can help for older kids;also, I'd check w/a counselor.
-
Yes, it can also be tricky...
-
There should be! Schools should work closely with youth to address abuse & give youth coping skills https://t.co/lxFMP9ZShw
-
-
***Q2: Is there room in the curriculum to talk about difficult issues like child abuse?
-
Safety is essential, and also needs to be supported by knowledgeable counselors 2 https://t.co/jlRrHg0wkh
-
-
A2 needs 2b-many great Lit selections deal with topic-can be door to providing Ss with safe space https://t.co/sTpCsZ6TyS
-
-
***Q2: Is there room in the curriculum to talk about difficult issues like child abuse?
-
A2: I would like to believe that there should be time. some people need a safe place to talk;maybe school is the safe place.
-
& power of any art-generates discussions & builds new viewpoints based on that
-
A2 I have heard horror stories here on Twitter. Families ripped apart. Families threatened with being ripped apart.
-
Yes, and we must create the safe spaces for children to be able to express themselves
-
An art analysis approach brings a structure along with it, can be helpful for emotions talking. https://t.co/oxYER2krKE
-
-
and these can change depending on feelings/or the person who is looking at that image
-
Important to remember https://t.co/dbtUUs5JwX
-
-
A2: Child abuse- that takes eyes and ears. Always on the look out for well being. Relationships matter.
-
we should create more conversation about abuse to educate youth
-
A1 to be well, physically, mentally, socially
-
-
I think it's most important that teacher is approachable and values children and they know it. Conversations happen on side.
-
A2 in addition 2 providing the room U must provide the trust needed for students 2 share w/o feeling judged
-
-
Everything must be done with sensitivity and understanding--for everyone involved.
-
Outreach and Counselors provide grade level appropriate lessons for Ss, but it's a topic I don't feel I can teach
-
Well said Timothy! https://t.co/oFMZW1SPEY
-
-
A1 picturing wellness is giving life to the world I see when I close my eyes and draw with my thoughts
-
Tricky. Try painful. Try PTSD. I've had cops on doorstep at 10:30 at night. SVU cops.
-
is the picture of balance-mind, body, spirit. Striving for this daily. A1
-
there are so many issues that are difficult to talk about but change never comes in comfort
-
need to reconceptualize our view of time in school-why does A have 2B done by this time? go deep & connect
-
A2 I don't think there is, but can we read literature about people who over came such issues
-
-
You haven't lived 'til you've had SVU cops on your doorstep. Cue the theme music.
-
For some Ss, it's the safest 7 hours of their day!
-
and by slowing down we can build in time for connecting the emotional to the academic
-
A2: keeps the dialogue about child abuse /sexual abuse in the open so all can prevent
-
is a web of connected supports and resources. https://t.co/ESAG9o4lHU
-
-
A2 also needs to be time for counselor/social worker to come into classrooms & talk with Ss-about supporting whole child
-
-
All too often parents of special needs kids are assumed guilty.
-
Yes, it can be very tricky. The impt. thing is keeping the child at the center.
-
. Etta's here from RI. Sorry a little late. Catching up!
-
education needs 2b more than 9-3 academic-center of community 2 support families beyond the building https://t.co/14lPt696Gh

Speaking of difficult conversations...here's Q3...
-
a2. We have 2B mindful of the living conditions & circumstances of our students, neglect 2 some can be survival 2 others

-
Hi Etta! Glad you made it!
-
Q3: How can teachers use art for difficult conversations?
-
I've been scrutinized since Kid O was an infant. Almost twenty years. Could you live with nosy neighbors and judgments?
-
A2 talking about it heals
-
What kind of structure? Would love a framework.
-
I am blessed I teaching 1:1. Conversations are quick and deep. Love it!
-
A2: As an adult I've had to talk with multiple "experts" to be heard. I can only imagine how defeating that must be 4 child.
-
-
a big bear hug ... and the feeling i am safe
-
is now trending in Canada, ranking 41
-
Yes! Context is important, setting stage for how to means safety, trust,
-
-
it 💔 when students are afraid to go home to abusive relationships
-
That is what we are told but that is not really what happens.
-
Love it! Love Canada! "Oh, Canada!"
-
A3: Any parallel activity can build bridges. Eye contact during hard convos is hard!
-
A3) day after 9/11 kids wanted to talk about it, try to process it, they drew building images & plane over & over
-
q3. Create a language using shapes and colors so students can create images that speak 2 how they are feeling
-
-
A3: art is a release for those who hold deep truths. Art helps let out all the thoughts they cannot express.
-
Students could talk about how certain colours make them feel or why they chose to make a certain image
-
That was a difficult day. Fortunately I had 3rd graders.
-
If you look at some of Dr. Wekerle's tweets right before we started there's some great info there too!!
-
a3. Have students create images that tell the emotional story of their neighborhood so you can learn more about them
-
-
A3 Stds may be able to express or through art, then find in new art
-
-
Art is a form of therapy https://t.co/N6ljPtOIt9
-
-
A3: art is a release for those who hold deep truths. Art helps let out all the thoughts they cannot express.
-
A3 art provides "flow" 4 some Ss-find themselves in moment-can lead 2 honest responses-either oral or visual-find what works
-
All fine & good, but where's protection for me? I need to feel safe, too. Unfair that I have been scrutinized.
-
-
-
A3 I don't use it to actually create a conversation rather, I do it to create a sense of safety and respect 4 individual
-
Tough reality is more often it is danger within the home. = care relationships https://t.co/R8GjgZhfA8
-
-
A2) the closest Ive come to it was teaching "stranger danger", inappropriate touching/ harming & what to do in K-3
-
Yes, me too! (Hi Margaret!)
-
So true! I have some Ss who don't go home until I leave the building - needing to connect
-
A3 arts is a great starting place - Ss can interpret it can reach a variety of languages& abilities I love graffiti convos
-
. A3: Tell me about your drawing" can elicit information about abuse instead of "what did you draw?"
-
Good point and important as well!
-
A3: Art transcends words. That's why it can be so therapeutic during difficult times!
-
Yes, so much is HOW we ask what we ask.
-
I'm sorry, but this is too emotional 4 me.I was bullied as a kid, and now bullied as a mother to SpEd kids.
-
truth-safe space key-as is a strong relationship-TRUST leads 2 honest conversations https://t.co/C3OSlBMJ3T
-
-
A2 having to create a safe space first and maybe looking at it in the angle of healthy relationships
-
I cannot even imagine how hard those days were. As a Cdn, it broke our hearts just watching the terror.
-
A3. I just pull out some Play-Doh and start fiddling with it while broaching a crucial convo and the S will join in.
-
-
I am so very sorry to hear that. Pls know that this is a safe place at
-
Absolutely school is a place for and as a community.
-
dedicated time for expressive arts- 2 allow children the creative space 4whatever https://t.co/wMfQJlKbhG
-
-
Q3: How can teachers use art for difficult conversations?
-
Q4 as move along on such an insightful
-
Not good enough. Systems need to be fixed. There needs to be balance.Too many parents end up villains unfairly.
-
Q4: Does it make sense to work up resilience before taking on sensitive topics? If so how could you do this?
-
allows learners to see beyond words, closely observe images to convey meaning, share. A3
-
...as do some teachers...unfortunately
-
I am so sorry that you were &are bullied. I@hope that you find a safe place to be. We all need to connect.💕
-
Seen teachers use colored tape as the medium for Stds-amazed of their own work. https://t.co/6Q3sIgwpKg
-
-
A3. I just pull out some Play-Doh and start fiddling with it while broaching a crucial convo and the S will join in.
-
Not for me tonight. Not with So I'm bailing. Good night.

-

Observation is such an important thing to nurture in students and everyone!
-
Tonight's Q4 https://t.co/fqnwZKK9Fw
-
-
Q4: Does it make sense to work up resilience before taking on sensitive topics? If so how could you do this?
-
Play-Doh is always fun and a great way to engage! https://t.co/h0hJBEvbMt
-
-
A3. I just pull out some Play-Doh and start fiddling with it while broaching a crucial convo and the S will join in.
-
A3-art can align 2 curriculum goals when U use it 2 have Ss express understanding-provides expression & application of topic
-
Yes! = is powerful. https://t.co/rV4IaB61v5
-
-
& power of any art-generates discussions & builds new viewpoints based on that
-
A3 Sometimes, I'll give a prompt, let kids respond with whatever expression (writing, visual art, dance, etc.) they choose.
-
That's what I do as well when conversations get deep. releases the tension when molding while talking.
-
I can tell you stories about families broken apart. Would break your heart. We dodged three bullets.
-
a4. I think vulnerability is imperative while acknowledging the resilience needed 2 broach a difficult topic
-
-
A4 It's building trust and community in the classroom; different groups progress at different rates (for whatever reason).
-
A4: Difficult question to answer in so few words Always good idea to focus on strengths of students at all times
-
A4: Yes, kids are very impressionable.
-
A4 chicken & egg-what I have resilience 4 U may not-when topics come up need 2B ready 2 tackle-good culture allows this
-
A 4 never give up and never surrender
-
Yes! Kids are do-ers...giving them a place to express, a way to contain big feelings.
-
Kids need on real life issues, not standardized tests. https://t.co/LNUyJxsSEO
-
-
***Q2: Is there room in the curriculum to talk about difficult issues like child abuse?
-
A4: you need to be resilient when having deep conversation. It should be a place of openness and trust for honesty to happen
-
The worst are school nurses. It's like they are rubbing their hands with glee. Ready to pounce.
-
A3 the imp thing is not to critique the art - it is an expression of the inner soul. Imp to have Ss share thoughts on image
-
Sara from Lake Tahoe NV jumping in super late. I agree with that art provides much needed voice & choice for ss
-
I'm sure it helps! It can also set an example for others too
-
A4 3picturingwellness There's personal resilience, then there is ensuring that you have the for the topic at hand
-
A4 tackling issues together builds empathy & understanding-resilience builds from knowing how others deal
-
I'm sorry. I thought topic of picturing wellness would be broader. Healing. This is not.
-
YES!! We must be strengths-based practitioners--doesn't me to have rose colored glasses--but must validate
-
-
Thank goodness, that has not been our experience at my school.
-
-
Yes! Listen, listen, to the story behind the art, there's truth in https://t.co/3Go09FGb3K
-
-
A3 the imp thing is not to critique the art - it is an expression of the inner soul. Imp to have Ss share thoughts on image
-
I hesitate making generalizations...
-
a4. You may have to be resilient in your commitment to your students b/c u may not have experienced what they're sharing
-
-
A4 build trust first, everything else will eventually fall into place
-
Sorry this is difficult for you. I understand and respect whatever you need to do tonight
-
Cancer treatment was difficult. DCFS was hell.
-
Q4 working on resilience is not a one class lesson, but a part of daily convo w/ Ss - individually or as a group
-
the hallmark of a great educator...differentiating the product 👍👍👍 https://t.co/U1qnvn5d1n
-
-
A3 Sometimes, I'll give a prompt, let kids respond with whatever expression (writing, visual art, dance, etc.) they choose.
-
In fact, you can pretty much guarantee they all have experienced things you have not, right?
-
Yes - and you can also have a group draw - kids collaborating together https://t.co/KDAZwTLPlv
-
-
A3 Stds may be able to express or through art, then find in new art
-
going to embarrass Sara-but she is my resilience mentor
-
-
A4: Even by grade 4 abuse can be so hidden. Tips to look for if child is introverted?
-
Since images convey meaning, art becomes the tool to draw out inner thoughts. A3
-
Q5: Art in museums can have an elitist view-how else can we make art more accessible & "get out of the classroom" for art?
-
I know it wasn't intentional but I am feeling PTSD right now. Anger. Fear. Freaking out.
-
You need to express compassion as well when dealing with difficult topics. Wellbeing is not judging.
-
So true! = has no limits really.
-
It's easier to share sensitive topics when someone else starts the convo with their own story https://t.co/4I2fXxpY5L
-
-
Q4: Does it make sense to work up resilience before taking on sensitive topics? If so how could you do this?
-
So sorry you feel that way. Like I said, do what you need to do tonight.
-
Take it in, and let it warm you up! https://t.co/Z0eA6YMQH0
-
-
going to embarrass Sara-but she is my resilience mentor
-
My apologies... What is DCFS?
-
Yes! Gives another option, visual learning https://t.co/ihaio1Oh5w
-
-
A3 art provides "flow" 4 some Ss-find themselves in moment-can lead 2 honest responses-either oral or visual-find what works
-
Q5 https://t.co/vpEG1dSruF
-
-
Q5: Art in museums can have an elitist view-how else can we make art more accessible & "get out of the classroom" for art?
-
Department of Children and Family Services. Three times through that ringer.
-
Q6 ties in with Q5 so I will post it...
-
-
Q6: Are there resources in your community to engage with artists and art? If so, how can you engage them?
-
I pick up all I can from people around me - gifted with a wonderful wife/educator, colleagues, PLN... :-)
-
Have a session where the viewer is engaged somehow. Through a media or art session based on visuals https://t.co/2tfj0LkmpS
-
-
Q5: Art in museums can have an elitist view-how else can we make art more accessible & "get out of the classroom" for art?
-
q5. Take neighborhood walks and observe the art around the neighborhood such as murals and typography
-
A5: take a walking tour in your city. See the billboards, street signs, tagged rail cars, discuss diff types of art.
-
A5 I have a number of relatives, now wondering if these are skills shining thru-wow
-
Ben, I might crawl under the coffee table. Thank you 😊 we have a 👍 support sys
-
Yes, I love doing this with Ss!
-
Great perspective to explore...
-
Love the idea of using billboards!
-
a5. See if there is a local spot where art is created and plan a visit for an activity on site
-
-
A5 Some museums work just fine, actually. Galleries. Online exhibits. Libraries. Looking anywhere w/artist's eye.
-
Art is not just in museums but can be seen throughout the city. Have people engage in all forms of art
-
Sometimes Ss need help in recognizing and understanding the truth that they drew - need to be prepared!
-
-
Have cops stand in your vestibule or prevent you from pulling away so they can check your kids and then we'll talk.
-
A5/6: Music is also powerful. We are taking advantage of exposing kids to Symphony since it encourages schools and the arts.
-
Yes - I remember everyone at work being confused, devastated with the visuals coming across. https://t.co/ZF1eYML9rP
-
-
I cannot even imagine how hard those days were. As a Cdn, it broke our hearts just watching the terror.

Here's Q6 https://t.co/2xxnU6zR5i
-
-
Q6: Are there resources in your community to engage with artists and art? If so, how can you engage them?
-
A6: Our community is all about art. we are lucky here. we have art tours where u go to artists home.
-
even if they don't share their story, they will no longer feel alone https://t.co/wV3Iz9DW4o
-
-
It's easier to share sensitive topics when someone else starts the convo with their own story https://t.co/4I2fXxpY5L
-
-
Q4: Does it make sense to work up resilience before taking on sensitive topics? If so how could you do this?
-
I also have had Ss do scavenger hunts in museums and that's been fun.
-
A6 Live in "Five College" area packed with professional artists as well. Two hours from Boston, three from NYC.
-
Art comes in many forms. https://t.co/Xhq5ROPoVY
-
-
A3. I just pull out some Play-Doh and start fiddling with it while broaching a crucial convo and the S will join in.
-
Not only be prepared but also know our limits and know when to call in help from counselors.
-
A5 some art museums have fantastic kid oriented workshops. Ours hosts a student work exhibit too that is so empowering!
-
