Extra school session
As last week we had so many of the year 4 class not drawing on the boilersuit we arranged that I would go back into school and today including morning break was there for almost three hours. The missing pupils pieces were added and I ran extra sketching tasks based around the ProMarker pens themselves, …
Adults do Art for Fun
I didn’t post yesterday, Saturday July 2. At the shop I had 8 adults do Art for Fun from 10 am through to about 1pm – it was wonderful to have adults taking part, it is an age group I want to involve more. Local friend Pam took part after many requests to try it …
