sketch by YaoJu
posted in Doodles, Notes for the Parents |
What we have here is a lively study made on a couple of bottles by YaoJu.It has a strong sense of presence in the sketch, a nice variation of strokes and shading to depict the subject and a good overall treatment of atmosphere.While most people are concerned about the neatness of the work, and use it as a basis of judgement of good work of children art or not, I think otherwise. It is more important to stimulate the kid’s keen observation and expressiveness, and build their sense of confidence in themselves, rather than achieving those ‘dead’ static ‘qualities’ we so often find in taught/drilled art classes. I call those fake achievements of art.
