EPCHS Art Teacher Sketches A Drawing A Day For 'Inktober' Challenge

EVERGREEN PARK, IL – A series of drawings from Evergreen Park Community High School art teacher Libby McArthur will grace the walls of the Evergreen Park Public Library, 9400 S. Troy Ave., through the end of November.

The drawings, collectively known as her ‘Inktober’ collection, were made during October. McArthur took part in a worldwide drawing month activity that had specific prompts for every day of the month.

“After having my kids, I found I was creating art less and less, so I decided I needed to draw, too,” McArthur said.

While many of the drawings include an image of an owl, each one provides a unique aspect related to the prompt of the day.

Library visitors are encouraged to interact with the exhibit by matching the prompt to a drawing and submitting their answers. Everyone who participates in the activity will be entered into a drawing to receive a print titled “Scurry.”

McArthur’s drawing students did a smaller version of ‘Inktober’ as part of a class activity last month.
