"Since we’re all going to be self-isolating together for a while. I thought we could have a competition around what could be meant by ‘a drawing diary’.

It could mean any number of things...

Maybe, a series of portraits of people you live with.

Or a story that builds over time using pictures… a bit like a comic.

It could be daily events from your life.

I leave it up to you to decide, it can be whatever you want – but make sure it’s a series of drawings - and maybe in some way, they’re telling a story of some kind. Just as a diary does."

First prize for her incredible lockdown art activities goes to Lottie Brown, who painted beautiful rainbow rocks, made elephants out of milk cartons, and even built her own weather station! Congratulations Lottie!
