Outsider

The artwork portrays the experience of feeling like an outsider in a new school classroom. The artist has skillfully captured the emotions of the subject, who appears isolated and disconnected from their peers. The use of color and shading accentuates the feeling of being alone in a crowded room. The subject's posture and body language reveal their discomfort and unease, highlighting the challenges of adapting to a new environment. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of the challenges that many students face when transitioning to a new school and the importance of empathy and inclusion in the classroom.
