Creature art!

I lead Art Therapy sessions at a school for children with autism. They are having a fund raising gala soon, and so last month I was approached by a committee from the school, requesting that I help them create some art for the gala. Together, we decided that I would turn one of the student's drawings into paintings. And so I was handed a very large stash of all these amazing drawings of all kinds of animals and people in all different situations, each drawn by one of the students.

I picked out seven small portions of her drawings and tried my best to render them with paint on canvas. Although I love outcome, they do not compare to her original drawings! Her drawings are so playful and uninhibited and unimaginably creative!




And some dinosaurs!
