My friends and I used to keep caterpillars in jars with leaves and sticks from where we found them. They never survived, yet it never occurred to us that we were the ones that were bringing about their untimely deaths.
As a child, every time I fell and hurt myself my Mum would distract me by saying 'Leah, look at the big hole you've left in the ground!' Worked everytime.
Below is the link to the website of the late Benni Esposito, a former tutor at my Art College, Duncan of Jordanstone in Dundee. In memory of this musician, artist and comedian, a drawing award has been established by Benni's family, his friends and colleagues from the College of Art. The aim of this award is to encourage art students to develop their talent and excel in their chosen areas of study. I was lucky enough to win the prize out of the Media Arts and Imaging students - a few of my drawing programme works can be seen if you follow the link
