My 2-year old niece, Lexi, loves to work with pencils and colors. She’s been getting good marks and praises on her artwork at toddler school. She’s feeling quite cranky today so to make her feel better I took out the old oil pastels I saw one day while cleaning the cabinets. It lifted her spirits immediately.
So I took out some sheets of bond paper and she immediately went to “work” doodling on those sheets while I worked on a piece of sandpaper I also saw along with the old pastels. Sandpapers and crayons made me remember my grade school days when I saw my substitute teacher’s work with a piece of fine sandpaper and some crayons. She made a very, very nice bird art with it.
I didn’t know what to draw so I just made the first thing that came to my mind for Lexi: Mickey Mouse. Here’s my mickey mouse drawing and Lexi’s artwork. It’s now taped here behind the bookshelf’s glass for everyone in the house to see. Haha! She was so proud of her “abstract art” and kept showing it to everyone here. And then she sees my sandpaper drawing and she shouts Mickey! She even showed me Piglet and Barney meaning she wants me to draw them next. =p
These are the cropped and resized pics of the drawings taken from my very old camera phone:
