Her teacher writes: Kat uses art to express thoughts and observations about the world that she might not share during conversation. Her artistic strengths include an ability to create realistic, to scale drawings with fine shading and detail. Kat also uses symbols effectively to express ideas. She particularly enjoys drawing eyes, because they are a vehicle for expression.
