He developed his love for surrealist art in his adult years when he became an inspiration to other artists.

Clay hedgehogs in preschool. 🦔
In preschool we have been learning all about hedgehogs. We had an amazing idea to make our own clay hedgehogs. We used our fine motor skills to model and mould our clay. When we had made our hedgehog shapes, we then added our eyes, nose and the very important spikes. Well done preschool.
