The truth is, I wasn’t hurt forever by the art professor’s antics against my classroom efforts. In spite of a crass approach in teaching his student, the end result was a painting that pleased not only him, but me as well. The shock wore off. After all, in a classroom, even with the highly subjective matter of art, the student has to be teachable.
However, what must be protected is the joy and fun of creating that art. This is what makes the work of young children masterpieces that many of us want to display. Where we labor to produce something wonderful, they just “do” and enjoy a satisfaction that is pure and undefiled.
And, without a doubt. the beautiful artistic talents of these young ones rival that of the professionals. I would let them share the same wall and, in fact, I do. Here is one done by my nephew, Daniel, at age seven.. I still remember watching how much fun he had making it over twenty years ago.
On the back of the pastel drawing, he printed the word “TiRifik”. Indeed, it is.
Still coming up: ..my own little Monet.
Love it!
I think children’s creativity is unlimited and we only need to encourage them to expose their thoughts through music, painting, dance or simply by words. I have four children in various age groups and have had the opportunity to practice it.
Congratulations for the initiative and I think kids can discover many new things that not even dream conehcer, the arts, just to motivate them.
pastel colors of this screen is completely harmonica as if it had been studied before being painted.
Pretty Cool!
