Art is the first language a child speaks to understand the world. At an age when words fall short, Aparna reads the feeling on the page and gives a child the courage to say exactly what’s inside. She knows Chinese brush painting and Western drawing alike, and moves children freely between them until they find a style of their own. Every class leaves a child with a little more skill and a little more nerve. A child walks out holding a piece they’re proud of, and a reason to make the next one.
