Buford Students Draw Charlottesville

Buford Middle School students recently put marker to canvas during their end-of-year festival to respond to the prompt "draw a place in Charlottesville that is important to you." Draw Charlottesville, in collaboration with Buford art teacher Daisa Pascall, provided individual canvases, to be joined together as a mural, and students brought thoughtfulness and creativity. The students' artwork, ranging from quick sketches to detailed drawings, included the Cultivate Charlottesville schoolyard garden, Bodo's, movie theaters, homes, and much more. Buford staff also joined in, drawing aspects of the Buford community that are important to them. Students and staff took home Buford postcards, drawn by Jessica and Andrea, to color and send to friends or family.

We loved watching the blank canvases get transformed with color, line, and insight into the students' lives. Many thanks to Buford and Daisa for inviting us to help students celebrate the end of the school year!
