How does a kid become attached to something so specific? This kid loved firetrucks. For the year that I worked with him, firetrucks were all he drew. He drew them rapidly, then hung them on the wall witha piece of tape and then drew another one. He’d also imitate the siren, doing it suddenly and startling the kids around him. He drew them fast and with complete focus. What is drawing doing in this situation? Something that was inside is now made visible to the outside.
