Chef Rilee in His Kitchen by Rilee Stevens
Rilee's greatest performances take place in his very own kitchen where he finds his perfect rhythm... here he is hard at work, about to make a batch of cookies *** Change is hard for anyone, even more so for those on the spectrum. Rilee Stevens, eight years old and non-verbal, has had his share of changes this past year, but he's found solace in his 'happy place' - in his kitchen with his mother! Rilee's mom saw how much he loved to help when she baked, and noted the calming effect it had on him...counting and measuring, stirring and mixing. It became a source of comfort for both of them, spending time together creating delicious memories! Resilience comes in many forms, and for Rilee it came with a spoon and an apron!

Rooster 1 by Delilah Jallow
This character is full of trials and a connection between school and a program she and her twin watch at home. The rooster struggles with anger and being grumpy. Delilah is a 4th grade student in my Life Skills classroom. She can draw characters from memory and has recently started drawing from books. We have an entire "wall of fame" of Delilah's work in our room. Delilah has spent this year often drawing the character Cogburn from the show Big City Greens. Whenever she has an opportunity, Delilah sneaks over to a classroom computer and pulls up images of Cogburn from the internet. Whichever staff member catches her playfully yells, "Delilah no rooster!!). Delilah responds by laughing. This "rooster" character from her drawing is an angry character and has been through a lot. He is scarred over one eye and often not a popular guy. The characters of the show try to work with him as I understand, usually unsuccessfully, but they keep trying. Delilah herself has struggled in her life with frustration to communicate and also can be quite stubborn, her resiliency shines through as she had found ways to communicate her lovely personality and delightful sense of humor through her drawings. Please enjoy her submission. We all delight at her communication through art. On behalf of Delilah: Delilah drew a profile of herself and the rooster. She is smiling and sharing a happy moment with the rooster as they gaze out to an evening sky. Delilah has befriended the once very angry "Cogburn" or as we call him in our class, "the rooster".

Umbra by Madison Jauregui
This is a 8x10 acrylic painting that focuses on the idea that even in the darkest time there is always a spark of color to bring hope. The name Umbra was chosen for the stage of solar eclipse, that cast the biggest shadow. Umbra is the first shadow and it becomes smaller as is reaches earth, just as our problems also fade away. *** My name is Madison Jauregui. I am 18 years old and in 12th grade.

Acrylic painting is the medium I prefer right now but I am looking forward to expanding my skills. Grey is an acrylic painting that stands at 8x10.

Puzzled Mask by Amber May
Autism is complicated to some people. This mask explains how we are. We are beautiful like roses, tough like the metal roses, we are shredded apart with our feelings and behavior sometimes but we come back after being pieced back together. Autism is not just a disability, but in my opinion is an ABILITY. We are capable of great things. Autism is not a label and we shouldn't be labeled with it. *** Hi my name is Amber May. I am currently 23 years old and I'm in college to obtain a degree in elementary education. I am working towards my bachelor's degree currently and will go to another University to work towards an endorsement to teach special education. I do crafts, draw, and paint. This piece I am going to share was a project I did when I was working towards my associates degree at Ivy Tech. It's supposed to be a mask that symbolizes autism. This is what it means to me: the roses mean we are beautiful humans and the wire roses mean we need to be strong and hold each other together which is beautiful as well. The rips in the side mean we are sometimes shredded apart with depression and anxiety, but we can be priced back together if we stay positive about ourselves and our future. As a community of people with autism, we need to look at the positives and do what I said as a child: strive to "be the best we can be" in life. We can accomplish many things if we put our minds to it.

The Willows Way by Beth Carson
My name is Beth Carson. I have taught elementary music for over 30 years. I have worked with over 4,000 unique students: each with their own set of strengths and ways of interacting. Among this diverse population have been students with Autism. Music provides a beautiful connection between the students and me. I also create visual art. Through my visual art I hope to invite all to participate in the creative process, to interact and engage with art. Because of my background as a musician I understand art as something that takes place through time. Kinetic art does the same. It is interactive, the viewer is sharing moments of time with the art, enjoying how the piece moves and changes. The viewer engages the piece by gently touching, moving past or simply breathing to activate the movement of a mobile. This creates a connection between you, the mobile and me. This mobile was inspired by the following: https://www.thewillowsway.com/the-meaning-of-the-willow-tree "One of the most valuable traits of the willow tree is its flexibility, being capable of bending into outrageous poses without breaking. The willow tells us to adjust alongside life rather than fight it. The willow reminds us to let go of the noise and chaos, surrender to the process, and gain a deeper understanding of our subconscious. Another powerful metaphor is the willow tree’s ability to not only survive but also thrive under some of the most challenging conditions. The Willows Way, like the willow tree, helps increase your abilities to be more flexible and resilient to life’s challenges."

Dejavu by ArtMix
These paintings are color studies in acrylic. This was created by ArtMix. We were working on building up the paint surface in layers to convey a feeling of depth. We looked at examples of non-representational art and focused on pushing ourselves to work through the concepts of form and space while working in a 2D artform. We all enjoyed the textured surface of the thick paper we used and we allowed the paint to dry a bit and get sticky so we could drag our brushes over the surface to create an emphasized textured painted surface.
