Grab A Pencil And, GO!!!!

What are you making? Isn't it International Draw Like An Artist Day? Oh well, at least you're trying.
International Draw Like An Artist Day is a day where you draw all day in honor of all the artists. It all started one day or to be more specific, May 2nd. Two girls, or artists to be saw what a beautiful day it was and wanted to go outside and sit by the blooming flowers. Those girls always brought their sketchbooks with them along with five sharpened pencils and a pencil sharpener just in case. The girls stepped outside and the smell of flowers and freshly mowed grass filled their nostrils. A gentle breeze blew against them and rustled the pages of their sketchbooks. That's when they decided to draw the whole day. Later that day they decided to do this same thing every year on this day. In two years their holiday became international. The two girls did not care because they started it and always knew that those two girls, they, had originally celebrated it.
Now every year the art museums or art galleries have a celebration for this holiday. So next May 2nd grab a paper, a sketchbook, eraser, sharpener and go to your art museum or draw away.
