Photographic sundry from teaching the children at LITTLE ART BUG. Nothing begs to be photographed like bubble-faced children creating art in glorious colours and i daresay i take more shots of these kids than myself, the time i spend outside of classes. Like an over-proud parent i shall proceed to show off their creations.
1. Origami paper printed with foaming paint
2. One can always trust the boys to think up legit monster plants
3. While the girls decorate theirs like charms
In the studio, it is always a pressing challenge to strike a balance between imparting skills, and nurturing their imaginations. On one hand i need to teach them to paint a perfect leaf, draw perfect circles. On the other, their mottled purple leaves and wonky circles can turn out to be just fabulous. There are many ways to hold a brush, to subvert drawing techniques to suit your purposes. I encourage good techniques whenever i can while they make me understand that art is more encompassing and expressive than the carefully structured lists in my manual.
