Recently The Carlyle Observer sent out a request to local students and groups about designing ads for participating local businesses – a project we named “Kidvertising.”
In Kipling, Mrs. Roy-Hampton’s Grade 9 art students gladly took part to show off their talents in drawing.
“There are some excellent artists in the class and I think most of the students enjoyed working on a piece of art that had a chance of being published,” said Roy-Hampton.
In Carlyle, program co-ordinator Carli Wollbaum was contacted to have youngsters from the Cornerstone Family and Youth Centre, a non-profit barrier free program for families, located in Carlyle, design ads for the participating businesses.
“The kids were eager to showcase their creativity,” said Wollbaum. “They were proud to be a part the community and they’re all looking forward to seeing their artwork in the paper.”
