Saihou discusses his concern that some of the children are excluded from being recorded or photographed from some of the residency highlights because some don't have parent releases. During this time, everyone is working on editing down pictures based on children who are not allowed to be photographed. Teaching artists Tom and Saihou also discuss the experience of collaborating together. One of the teachers (Tammy Costello) discusses student engagement and the result of the residency in her practice of using art materials with students. || One of the teaching artists in this residency, Tom Ferraro, talks about the thank you card he received from students at First District. ||
