It was Sunday afternoon. Hattie and I laid on the floor and made this drawing (the middle one is the original) We spent nearly 10 mins on it. That's a long time for a 1 1/2 year old. We both used a wide variety of techniques to get the colored pencil on the paper. Hattie inspired me in the area. I stayed working on it a little while after Hattie found something else to do. Then I took the image onto the computer, into photoshop and tweaked the colors a tad.
An interesting fact about this piece of art along with art in general is that this is basically a kid drawing. A drawing like this isn't usually viewed as something worthy of posting online and shared with the world. One might keep it in a little "memories" book for the kids to look at in 10 years but I'm posting this to say that it is a serious piece of art. It's composition, colors, lines etc. are worth studying. You may be asking why does this kid drawing deserve more attention than any other "scratch paper" drawing. Because I say so. That's the thing about art; sometimes it's defined by who is looking at it.
I think I've started something great here.
I like it! I actually saw a surgeon in the pic. That must mean I'm in the medical field :)
ReplyDeleteI guess Hattie should be a psychologist ;)
DeleteIf it is big enough to start a blog for, than it is worth noting by everyone.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree. I can't wait until Hattie learns to draw circles...there's going to be some serious activity on this blog.
