Mr. Freeman: In here is a piece of paper and on that piece of paper is a word. You are gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art. Ivy: Uh, Mr. Freeman? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't wanna relapse and have to go back into therapy. Mr. Freeman: Oh, yeah, well, fear is a great place to begin art. [Melinda picks a piece of paper that says "tree" and tries to put it back] Mr. Freeman: Hey! Whoa. You just chose your destiny. You can't change that. Melinda Sordino: I learned how to draw a tree in like the 2nd grade. Mr. Freeman: Oh, really? Um. Well, do you wanna show me? It's okay. I won't grade you. [he hands her the chalk and Melinda sulks up to the blackboard and very hesitantly draws a really pathetic tree] Mr. Freeman: That's a pretty good start. Yeah, let's see what it looks like at the end of the year.

Great. And on that piece of paper is a word. You're gonna spend the rest of the year turning that object into art. - Mr. Freeman. - Mm-hmm? When I was little, I was really scared of clowns and I don't want to relapse and have to go back into therapy. Oh, yeah well fear is a great place to begin art. Hey! Whoa! You just chose your destiny. You can't change that. I learned how to draw a tree in like the second grade. Oh, really? Well, you gonna show me? It's ok, I won't grade you. No commentary, please. That's a pretty good start. Let's see what it looks like at the end of the year, huh?
