Description about the painting:

Oralism Fails
Day 21 of 28 Days
Nail/Screw Motif, resistance
11 inch by 14 inch
oil on canvas
by Nancy Rourke
‪#‎DeVIA28Challenge‬

This is inspired by Robert P. McGregor's "The Social Side of Oralism" at World Congress in January, 1910.
He explained Oralism is founded on the rock. So, I used a nail motif, to represent as an attention. A Deaf student is so frustrated in a mainstreaming program, the note is nailed against a blackboard and it cracked the board.
