Children on one of the National Gallery’s art education programmes for children were drawing pictures of their dreams at the National Gallery’s education centre recently.

All manner of wonderful pictures of the children’s dreams were being drawn in wax crayons and pencils, as the class facilitator, Kushana Gentles, told children to draw their dreams.

Ashley Mclean was drawing a huge dragon with a lumpy back “He’s sitting down in a lake,” she said.

Kodi Ebanks drew a picture of himself as a king with a crown on his head, walking on some kind of huge blue wave.

Hannah Myrie said she had a dream of her walking out of a blue house. “In my dream there was a rainbow and I was on it,” she said.

Tamara Hernand had done a very abstract drawing in wax crayon to represent some very abstract thought.

The drawing consisted of a small blue circle surrounded by black.

She explained her dream: “In the world of the imagination we are surrounded by darkness.”
