Keep eyes observing and little hands busy drawing this summer. It may be a habit that will carry on through the year!
Hello Readers,
Any young Leonardos in your crowd? Start them in sketching and they may develop into artists, inventors, engineers, designers, writers, teachers, or some such occupation that is dependent on the ability to observe and to describe that observation.
An art journal is a great place for a child to draw and copy what he has seen. It is a place for recording found ideas and for exciting memories to be preserved. Summer is so full to a child and he has so much to see that he can only remember for long those sights that impress him most and the ones he has recorded.
A simple booklet of art paper stapled together or a fine hard bound sketch book can serve the purpose. So get those little ones started on this creative project which can entertain them in the quiet spots of summer. I wish them and you many of those.
