20 Minute Guided Drawings

 Teaching a drawing class during VBS in Deland Florida added the challenge of helpings kids, ages 5 to 12, complete a sketch in 20 minutes.  I had about 60 kids during the week, and they were divided into groups by age.  I also had to think up a sketch that was related to the Bible lesson for the day, and had a sea-creature theme.  So... "Friendly Dolphins" represented the idea that God is your friend, "Comforting Octopus", with all those arms to give hugs, reminds us that God can comfort us.  "Surprising Butterfly Fish" opened our eyes to the surprises of God's creation, "Seagulls" carrying a sprig of life illustrated the promise of new life.  Last, "Family of Sea Turtles" represented the generations through which our faith has been passed down.  You can view all the galleries at Artsonia .com.  The kids and parents were amazed at how these quick sketches turned out.
