So there I was minding my own business making a little sketch in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery when I became aware I was being watched. I looked up and saw a young kid, possibly 7 or 8 watching me intently, his eyes transfixed by the sketch as it slowly took shape. After a few moments he left me alone and returned to the rest of the rest of his school mates. I thought nothing ore of it but the next thing I knew I was surrounded by curious kids eager to see what I was doing. Eventually their teacher came over and asked if I minded, which I didn’t.

After a few more moments they were off back to the other side of the gallery so that they could have a group photo. It is truly wonderful the curiosity of children and clearly they had taken in the lessons that morning in the gallery. Long may this go on.
