... Mr Ajayi Visual art teacher at Lagos City Senior College. When l joined...
It was my wish to make art or drawing thank you,
Compulsory subject for all learners at Junior Schools nd Senior Schools that was my wish.
I put efforts funny enough...channels might comes through a wrong there.
Drawing skills will enable learners to pass exam, no subject without drawing even history we still manage and draw the map.
Drawing will make learners to excell in any time. The skill of drawing they have already captured an aspect of the drawing. Because there are so many questions.
We asked you to draw this or draw that in science, arts and in the
commercial subject. But today learners are ranning away from drawing.
....from maping end you still draw so, so map to get the drawing. That's another way to tell the person that drawing is very important when it comes to learning...
A professor in drawing will teach his boys how to value drawing.knowing fully well that drawing will
enable them to pass their exam.
To this end, so many art outreach are outside here to organized workshop.
It does sound beautiful was quite interesting.
Then our students, learners from science class commercial art class.
They joined the arts students to participate
and, it has really help them in others subject because the skill of drawing like I
said earlier on very, very paramount in teaching and learning activities.
The tutor wiith the skill of drawing will teach effectively likewise the learners with the skill of drawing
will perform excellently.
So it is my wish to have another workshop training workshop where learners will showcase their skill that gifts of God.
So many learners in science class they are good in drawing but they are so fortunate to be in science class let me say they are fortunate they are not unfortunate.
They are so fortunate to be in science.
We have so many scientists that are drawing that are even taking drawing as hobby....
But they are not using their certificate science line.They are not using what God gave them from people of God that is
And they are selling the artwork for 2,000,00, 5 million, 3 million depending on the work of the artwork.
So like I said earlier on, the skill of drawing is very, very important in any academy activities.

The art outreach caught the eye of Olusola David Ayibiowu, who believed that every art student deserves a bright future. So he took action to organize art outreach as a sustainable development for art students and others who are inclined to learn visual arts.
The Art Outreach At Lagos City Senior College curated by Olusola Ayibiowu Organized by Creative Arts Solution Foundation
The art outreach curated by Olusola David and Ayibiowu has been proven to have a positive impact and sustainable development for both visual art students and science students inclined to learn art.
Flasback since 2013, where Mr. Olusola David, Ayibiowu, is the Chairman and President of the Creative Arts Solution Foundation. Who first organized a free art workshop on still life drawings with the medium of pencil on paper, pastel, and water color for Gbadaga Senior Grammar School through our foundation as a non-governmental organization?
The first day of the 2013 workshop within school premises took place on Wednesday, February 20th, 2013, for still-life drawing and imaginative composition. The second and third part was on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 and February 25th 2013 for water color and oil pastel. And PowerPoint presentations. We had 10 students who participated in the 2013 workshop, and other students took pictures with us.
After the workshop, the school authority recommended that the foundation be given an approval letter in order to continue with the art workshop and competition for students, which we later received in collaboration with the Lagos State Government Ministry of Education.
Later on, in the year 2023, he also applied for an approval letter to organize "Art Outreach" for art students and other students who are inclined to learn visual arts for free, as our foundation gives out free art materials like drawing paper, pencils, and water color to work on during the art outreach. And we also organize drama, choreography, bead making, etc. If time permits, for senior secondary schools as well as their junior schools organized by the Creative Arts Solution Foundation, we partner with Lagos State Government Education District IV, the blooming district, with the backing of an approval letter given to the foundation through Mrs. Tayo-Subair, S.I. Director Co-curricular Science & Tech for Mr. Olusegun Olawale Osinaike, Tutor General/Permanent Secretary, Education District IV.
The same year, he started curating the first art outreach on Wednesday, November 8th, 2023, at Aje Comprehensive Senior High School. We had 210 students who participated during the art outreach.
Following are the Herbert Maucualay Girls Senior High School and Birrel Avenue Senior High School on Wednesday, March 13th, 2024. We've got 18 students from Herbert Maucualay Girls Senior High School and 51 students from Birrel Avenue Senior High School who participated in the art outreach.

Transforming Classrooms and Shaping Futures Through Creative Expression.
In Lagos, Nigeria, a visionary local artist draws students' passion to art and the humanities. This story of hope comes from Olusola David Ayibiowu, a Nigerian artist and The Uplifting Inbox subscriber who believes that students can discover their creative spark through still-life drawings and watercolor paintings.
The Story
In the bustling streets of Lagos, where the pursuit of academic excellence can overshadow artistic expression, one man's vision is adding splashes of color to young lives. Olusola David Ayibiowu, armed with paintbrushes and an unwavering belief in the power of art, is transforming classrooms into creative havens.
It all kicked off in 2013 when Olusola, chairman of the Creative Arts Solution Foundation, showed up at Gbagada Senior Grammar School with a wild idea. "Every art student deserves a bright future," he declared, setting out to prove it with free workshops on still life drawing, water colors, and oil pastels.
That first gathering? Just 10 curious students. And there was something like enchantment in that first couple of meetings. And that pretty much went viral, that without much delay, Olusola had the support of the Lagos State Government Ministry of Education behind him.
“l was motivated by God who inspired me to help and organize art outreach for students.” Olusola explains. "Every art student deserves a bright future as l take action to help and organize art outreach for students to reduce poverty and create employment"
And open up possibilities it did. In the month of November 2023, in Aje Comprehensive Senior High School, 210 students entered the realm of art, with pencils on paper, soaring of ideas, revelation of talents.
But it is not to produce the next Picasso, but the capability to do so that is being developed. Olusola’s workshops are knocking down blinds. Science course students who used to sit idly with their science physics books are now seen with paints smeared up to their elbow. Girls who previously assumed that they were unable to draw are leaving their preconceptions on the floor.
“I have to say that; the transformation is quite remarkable,” Olusola could not hide his joy. This kid comes in hanging his head as if he is unsure he belongs there, but as soon as they are done, they have their chest sticking out, beaming at what they have made – it is like watching these flowers grow at warp speed.
The momentum keeps building. Herbert Macaulay Girls Senior High School and Birrel Avenue Senior High School were admitted into the artistic revolution in March, 2024. Getting back on track, July 2024 saw the transition to paintbrush, with 50 active learners of Lagos City Senior College.
But for Olusola, it's about more than numbers. It's about that moment when a student's face lights up, realizing they've created something uniquely theirs. It's about science whizzes discovering they can be artists too, and shy kids finding their voice through a paintbrush.
