Glass Flowers by Colleen |
I might be biased, but my niece seems to be very perceptive for someone her age. A couple of years back, I noticed she was good at picking out details and patterns in the world around her. I introduced her to contour drawing (good for a few laughs) and we did some plein air sketching at the zoo. But kids often don't have a long attention span. She recently bought herself a camera and may have hit upon a creative outlet that can happen "instantaneously." I've been sending her some photo challenges and I then get to see what she sees via email. She may never take up painting, but if she does, I hope learning how to see, at a young age, gives her a head start. Only time will tell...
