Adults return to the classroom to turn around literacy rates and lives
By Christopher Testa and Brendan Mounter

A program improving literacy rates among Indigenous adults helps more than 500 people change their lives, but advocates say much more is needed to address the problem nationally.

ABC News · Literacy for Life program tackles low literacy rates among Aboriginal adultsBy Christopher Testa

Welp, I have done it. I have officially registered for the free Adult High School program at a local community center that is opening up in my neighborhood. A joint effort with Goodwill, it is the first of its kind anywhere in the country, so I literally have zero idea of what to expect but I have too much free time in my life I don't put enough effort into doing something that will make me feel better about myself.

Today was the last day of the croquis&animation course I've been taking. Today, I tried digital drawing, jeez it was fun! During summer, I could take as a goal to draw regularly. It's a good habit to sketch or write little observations around your daily life. It makes our daily life more fun and improves our ability to see, to observe, to be present.

My arty hobbies continue! I signed up for a course where the first 3 lessons we draw croquis, and the last 3 make animations out of them. So neat!

I was an artsy teenager and ended up studying theatre. Having kids, being just busy with life, I haven't drawn that much the last... jeez, 20 years. But now our kids are bigger and I have time to take fun arty courses! Not that bad for the first lesson, huh?

The first drawing was made in 3 min, the seconds body in three and each arm in 1 min. The last ones are made in 30 sec. I love how you can see the model's position from just a few lines.
