SAMPLES FROM PREVIOUS DRAWING WORKSHOPS

---

Every drawing has a story behind it. If some stories are compelling, others are funny and  quirky, some heart warming. There are all beautiful. The workshops gives children the opportunity and a platform to express their feelings, emotions, thoughts and ideas through their stories and narratives. Some stories are about their family, friends, or events providing insights into their daily experiences and memories.  Some are about imaginary creatures, dreamscapes, or fictional characters. Some drawings are a way to work through problems or plan for the future. Some are ideas for a project, a game, or how they envision a solution to a challenge. At the end of every workshop, every child presented their drawing to the entire group and talked about their story. The group got a chance to encourage their friend by calling out their favorite aspects of the story and the drawing. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to engage with these beautiful minds and get  insights into their thoughts, feelings, and experiences as well as provide support and encouragement for their creative expression.
