#Drawinglessons with Gr. 7′s during ARTS WEEK at @wpgadotca!

19 Apr

Last year I had the pleasure of teaching drawing to 75 Grade Five students during West Point Grey Academy Art Week!  This year I taught a new batch of kids- the Grade 7′s!

A huge thank you to Danielle Unger for the invite and to all the staff and students at West Point Grey Academy for putting on an amazing event and for being so welcoming!  It was wonderful seeing artists from the community sharing their gifts with these talented and highly creative kids!

Here are just a few of the many highlights from my drawing sessions:
