Draw me a Song (Rashi School Online Lesson)

Draw Me a Song is a project started in 2011 by designer Nour Tohme. At first, it was a small project, but then it gathered followers around the world. Tohme combines illustration and hand-drawn words to bring some of the world's most famous songs to life in a visual way.
