Kids had fun last week doing free draw, and now back to business. We’ll be brightening up the bleakest month with faces, expressions and self-portraits. The self-portraits are the biggest challenge of the year, and we learn so much by doing them. Then we’ll be getting ready for our big show and auction opening May 2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
