After a day filled with family, I took my sketching stuff and enjoyed the silence, sun and crispy cold air.

Antibes, with the Picasso museum, was filled with summer vibes. Children were playing in de sea and on the beach.

Before lunch the kids went to the garden to plant some bulbs.

A view from the place where school meetings are being held. Lots of trees here at l'École Freinet.

Learning capacity measures outdoors, with (a lot) of water. Afterwards the plants and trees are happy: a win-win situation. At l'École #Freinet in Vence.

Sketch of the chalet I'm staying this week. From the entrance I can see the school of Célestin Freinet, it's a 5 minute walk. Lucky me!

In the morning I have the best view ever.

Watching the children of l'École Freinet here at the theater, it's like you're in an other era. They had theater class today and it was great fun watching them. What a magnificent place.

I arrived half an hour before the opening of the #Chagall museum, so I decided to draw while waiting. Inside the museum I was overwhelmed and touched by the paintings of Chagall. A must-see if you're in Nice, France.

Someone sits down to record a message for their father.
And freezes.
The button is right there.
It stays untouched.

Another day at l'École #Freinet

Cooperation, individual work and discussing (texts), it's inspiring to observe and I really regret I don't speak French. I miss a lot and it's hard to communicate with the children. Google translate is my friend. 😏
