The learning goal is to visually problem solve by using imagination. We'll do this by turning a puzzle outline shape into something that contributes to the scene being drawn. Additionally, story telling and drawing skills are explored. We will also discuss what kind of animals hibernate during northern winter climates as we draw.

I was honoured to win a nation wide contest to illustrate Dennis Lee's reprint of Alligator Pie. I have illustrated five published children's books in total. I graduated from a Canadian Art College in Visual Communications, then worked as an illustrator for thirty years, doing mostly editorial and advertising commissions. I have done numerous, live drawing presentations for elementary age children at schools and libraries. Most recently, I taught Illustration and drawing fundamentals for seven years at a Canadian Art University.
