This drawing workshop introduces playful and fun elements for children while learning how to draw and create art.  The learning outcome for the participating children is to nurture their thought process creatively about composition and use of different materials in creating a piece of drawing. It teaches children how to “see” in a new way and offers the basic understanding of how to draw and paint.
