Here's a sample story out of the drawings:

Kids love playing with toys, which means everything is all over the place, making the room messy. If you don't clean up your toys, your mom will be upset and angry. To make her happy, surprise her with flowers, prepare breakfast for her, and let her enjoy a moment of calmness while having a bubble bath!

Tips for art-mazing success

Step 4. Add an ear and the hair


Draw a curved line on the left side of the head for the ear. Since our baseball player is side view, we cannot see the other ear.

Draw straight lines for the hair outline, then shade the inside.

“Arree Chung, your class is fantastic! I am sure other parents would agree that Creativity School is more of a FAMILY DEAL! Because I, as a parent who has no drawing experience, learned too.”
