As the children framed the gym around them with their cardboard frames, one child moved beyond family portraits and equipment.

This child traced the school’s logo, capturing the mascot and blue and yellow lettering on their piece of plastic.

Another child filled their frame with their family, symbolising their way of expressing importance and love.

Another child looked around the gym for something entirely different, and found inspiration in their mind, from a poster they had seen the week before.

The invitation this week was the same– to capture something in the frame through tracing or simply drawing– However their ways of seeing were completely different.
