I am nearing the end of my week working with students at the International School of Kuala Lumpur. It’s been a great experience and I think I’ve probably learned more than the kids. Here are a few photos and drawings from the week so you can see what I’ve been up to.

I’ve been here before. Soon I won’t be. I’ll be flying to Kuala Lumpur.

The second leg of my trip. HK to KL
Many of the students have lived in many different countries. I can relate. I show them a map of my own childhood peregrinations.

I’m helping kids to study the everyday.

Lots of nice observation, this by a 10th grader.
Some snippets of life around the school.

The koi pond in the school entryway. I painted it in gouache.
KL’s Chinatown is seedy but colorful.
There’s a Chinese graveyard next to the school.
There’s a Hindu grave next to the school too. Boo!

What an absolutely perfect age to hear and be reminded that “every day matters”. The opportunity and encouragement you afford them may help develop in them them a lifelong love of visual journaling. Awesome.
Loved hearing about your experiences, Danny. Thanks for posting the pics.
On a trip myself at the moment and decided to sketchbook journal the trip. Looking forward to getting faster with my sketches 😉 Perhaps some tips at SBS when we resume next term.
