The article Young Artist with Autism Finds Critical Acclaim is about a boy named Seth who has autism. Although there are many obstacles and challenges he faces on a day to day basis, his mother helped Seth find something he could enjoy and excel in. Seth has a hard time being in a space by himself and has trouble communicating. However, he has found joy and passion in art. He enjoys oil painting and drawing with charcoal. His love for art grew and so did his fame. He became a big part of a documentary on PBS as well as having murals of his art displayed at the Time Equities building in Manhattan. This benefited him as he improved on his speech and communication skills.
Seth's work is really incredible. I googled his name to see more of his work because I was so impressed with the 2 images included in the article. It's amazing how art has therapeutic qualities but also presents its own sets of challenges. Thanks for sharing :)
This article was super cool to read, it's great to see how supportive so many are of Seth's work and so cool to see all that he's created on his own website as well. It's so great that art is able to help him in expressing himself while benefitting his abilities as a whole. Thank you for sharing this!
It is humbling to see people with special needs who have found success in their creative outlets. It really drives home the idea that artists aren't limited nor defined by their limitations. If anything, this article is a testament to the idea that artists are defined by their relentless pursuit of creativity and human expression.
