Nick this is lovely and so powerful. After a long week, it offered me a much needed fresh perspective or maybe reminder about teaching and learning and connection and care. Been honored to be along for some of the journey, anticipating the next page...
Your children's piece is a wonderful visualization of Lowenfeld! Thank you for your generosity in posting these ... all of them, including Bi(bib)! I will be sharing them with my Seminar In Creativity students. A gift.

Wow. This is really cool! It's really helpful for reflecting on my own "bi(bli)ography" (an amazing idea in its own right)--something I find increasingly important during my time here at TC.
Glad to hear it, Ben! It's easier to write the name of this piece than it is to say it, and it did start out as a path of associations around things i read, that then grew into people i'd learned from and kept swirling about... Look forward to seeing your approach! - Nick
Nick Sousanis cultivates his creative practice at the intersection of image and text. A doctoral candidate at Teachers College, Columbia University, he is writing and drawing his dissertation entirely in comic book form. Before coming to NYC, he was immersed in Detroit’s thriving arts community, where he co-founded the arts and cultural web-mag www.thedetroiter.com; served as the founding director of the University of Michigan’s Work:Detroit exhibition space, and became the biographer of legendary Detroit artist Charles McGee. His comics have been infiltrating the academic realm through numerous publications and he furthers his advocacy for the medium in the comics course he developed for educators at Teachers College.
