Only seven weeks (6 classes) to the show! Make sure the kids have their t-shirts ready to wear at the party on May 15. Encourage the kids to choose the artworks, and submit the titles, medium, price or NFS ASAP to me before April 15. Be sure to check the timeline here<\/a> and stay current with the weekly emails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kids are doing a great job with the self portraits. Getting a likeness is a challenge that teaches many key lessons all at the same time. Free draw after finishing the portraits, and then on to the auction items of Beautiful People to benefit World Central Kitchen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
