I have been a blogger since 2009 when I lived on, and chronicled the West Coast of the Cape. So much happens in ten years! Here I am now greeting you from the Durban Berea two weeks short of my 75th birthday. After a fine arts career of many years, I am back at my first love, namely teaching. To tutor children and open the doors to the art world is the greatest fun. My only real worry....how short are those school years! Do we have enough time?
In this blog I will take you through our many different lessons, which you may use too.
In this first blog post, I will show you a lesson I gave shortly after moving into a retirement centre. I made an instant connection with my pupils and knew that teaching would be my work of choice!
In this blog I will take you through many of our lessons. From each session I felt that I have learnt so much from the children.

Hi Marie, dit is pragtig om te sien wat jy doen, mooi so. Jou lesse is baie oorspronklik en ek hou van die dagboek idee, dit is goud werd.
ReplyDeleteHallo Luïse, ek waardeer jou opmerking. Ja, ek en die ouers kyk baie in die dagboeke, want dit sê so baie van 'n kind!
