On Thursday, Melbourne Museum's Discovery Centre hosted a group of young art students along with a number of marine birds. The birds were set up on tables across the centre for the inspection of the students of Torquay College doing a cool program run by the Geelong Gallery which involved drawing things realistically by looking and copying. They'd already been upstairs to sketch the blue whale...
We were impressed not only by the final results (I wish I could draw!) but the quietness and concentration displayed by the budding artists - never before had we seen so many children so still, with only their wrists and pencils moving.
