Or so I'm told... We started new projects in the studio tonight. Everyone decided to paint on canvas. 2 new right from the start their game plan, what they wanted to do, and how it was going to get done. The other 2... not so much. A tree, "but do I have to paint the branches?" "are there leaves on your tree?" "No. They are falling off." "Then you might need some branches" "why?" "otherwise it is only a tree stump".... A ballerina, yes... no that's too hard, just the toe shoes... There were sketches, books were taken out, Degas none the less, "he's ok, not very good with ballet dancers though"...hmm, she's 9 she'll learn. New ideas were thrown around. Feedback was given, apparently not the kind either were looking for... old ideas were scraped and new ideas were formed... toe shoes to egrets..... I like to let them come up with their own ideas for their paintings, I will offer suggestions, ideas on how to expand their original concept, but... I like that original concept to come from them. From the deepest corner of their minds. It helps them realize who they are.
