This week’s young artist is Leon, shown above as a part of Art Haven’s summer programs. Leon has done everything from clay to mermaid robot building, but most notably created an incredible squirrel painting and poem! In Picturing Poetry with Aja Heussi, he created a poem about the intricacies of squirrel life:
Squirrels eating nuts
in a hole in a tree.
Squirrels bushy butts
and a squirrel sees a bee.
Squirrels are crazy
Squirrels are fat
Squirrels are rambunctious
They’ve caused trouble in the past
Squirrels are mammals
Squirrels have sharp claws
They can’t see when they’re babies
When they have little paws
I love squirrels
I love them a lot
They are so funny!
But when they bite, they’re not.
-Leon Calvo
