Children: DD (10) and DS (12) | My young artist... | | DS (11) has always had a knack for drawing. I don't know where this talent comes from because DH and I can only do stick figures. LOL! Attached is a pic of a tribal chief he drew for a school project. He was recently asked to design/draw the pic for his school holiday postcard. Drawing is his favorite pass time.

Children: Jill born Jan 12, 1996 | Re: My young artist... | | It is interesting to see how kids progress from scribing with crayons to much more complicated forms of art. |

He started drawing trains at 2. I vividly remember taking him to a Parents As Teachers playgroup. The kids were scribbling away and Tyler was humming along drawing a train. The teacher said, "Tyler, that's a TRAIN!  " He smiled and looked up at her like, "No kidding?!" LOL!
He has lots of drawing books and has taken lessons at Guy Gilchrist's Cartoonist's Academy, which fortunately, isn't too far away. He's getting a drawing tablet for Christmas. It'll be fun to see what he comes up with. |
