There's a lot going on in there...

This session featured 5 to 7-year-olds, and due to it being 3 hours long a parent was asked to stay with their child (but they got to join in too). Over the last couple of years I’ve met some astounding children in this age group who draw utterly spontaneously, at speed, and with utter confidence, and it’s rather gob-smacking to watch. One particular boy in this session managed to complete two finished pieces followed by a string of additional doodles, meaning I was struggling to think up of new challenges for him. I hope for his sake he can cling on to this positive attitude with his work as he matures as he shows a lot of potential. And that’s not to say that the others didn’t do well, working steadily and thoughtfully throughout. Enclosed below are some of the results of the doodle session.

One of the mum's work

I love the mice on this one.

Millie was aiming for a Where's Wally scenario here.

This is one of my favourites of the day - check out the footballer!

Another mum's work - I think she surprised herself
