YOU ARE DIAMOND

ACTION, COOPERATION WITH STUDENTS OF MÁRIA GÖLLNER REGIONAL WALDORF GRAMMAR SCHOOL,
BUDAPEST 2013

Most students claimed that they had no talent in art.
After listening to this for months and trying to explain them why this statement was
meaningless I have decided to take action.
I drew a diamond on every student’s arm one morning in the class of the 12th grade. I
gave no explanation until one student asked me why am I drawing a diamond on his arm.
Because you are a diamond - was my answer. I asked them to copy the diamond from the
arm on the cover of their diary of the epocha. I asked one of the students to make photos
of the diamonds with his phone.
