Ms. Hussey's assignment is to answer the question, "What is art?" To Calder, art is something puzzling. Calder pulls out a box given to him by his grandmother; he loves the painting that is on the cover of it. He sits in the sun, what his grandmother called a "rainbow bath," and begins to write about the box.
