The fam- ilies of both Morrison and hus- band, Barry, have deep roots in While Morrison has not aban- doned themes based on early days in the Slocan—outhouses, hotels, vintage cars and Victorian ladies—she has moved ahead to other subjects, such as likenesses of well-known local personalities.

Drawings are far more com- plex and subtle than their verbal equivalent could possibly be. Teachers and parents often find children’s drawings difficult to understand. “There is. an enormous amount of information conveyed through a drawing,” says Bob Steele, who will be giving a workshop at the NEC on interpreting chil- dren's drawings. “Parents and teachers can gain access to a child’s mind through these spontaneous drawings.” Organizer of the “Drawing Network,” Steele has taught at UBC in the Faculty of Education for 30 years, and has taken a spe- cial interest in children’s draw- ings as a language phenomenon. veggie plants are ORAAMICALLY grown and will perform better in your garden.

The workshop will refer to kindergarten, primary and inter- mediate instruction, and is rele- vant.to preschool instruction. Participants will get help in “reading” children's drawings, and will do motivational and remedial techniques that will be applicable in working with chil- dren. The techniques may also be useful for personal artistic development. “The “Drawing Game’ is one remedial technique, in which I would explain and get teachers and parents to practise and work with me,” says Steele. “It is a hands-on experience.” Pre-registration is required by Phoning the NEC and there is a fee for the workshop. & HEATING i See us for all your natural gas or, yi ae ee pees: : TATION.

Morrison first began to paint when she lived in Nakusp, and her first works were in oil. While raising a family she set. painting aside, and when returned to it some years later put all her efforts into the work, reading every book on the subject, and attending workshops. At this time she concentrated on pastels and watercolors.
