We love this playful drawing activity from Belco Arts' IGNITE Programs Officer, Heidi Lefebvre! @lefebvreheidiWhy not give it a try this week? ✏️☕😍"Collect some sticks, twigs, stones, flower heads. Save the dregs of your morning cuppa. Now imagine an animal. Their fur, diet, scratchy habits and habitat. Using your collected drawing tools and the "inks" (cup of tea left overs) draw like a wombat, or sugar glider, or moth, or earthworm. Don't worry if it's messy and wild - wombats love mess!"Swipe across to see Heidi's finished wombat inspired result!#drawlikeawombat #drawingactivity
