Creative Artist by Ashley



I chose this picture because when I asked the child who it was. The child, said "this is you Mrs. Brantley" with a great big smile on his face. Nonetheless, if a child artist draws a circle and says it's a Power Ranger", then so be it  because that's what it looks like in his eyes.  I just wish I could have  darkened this picture up some, but could not.

    This is spot on with my thinking about children's art. I love the imagination children show in their work. It's so important to have the open-mindedness in your comment about this picture. I am an advocate of process, not product when it comes to young children's art. Thank you for sharing.

    Your post has changed my attitude toward art in early childhood education. I have a better understanding why it is not required to give pre-printed pictures to color. I felt emotional knowing he thought so much of you. Yes, I respect that circle or line that my kids draw everything, because it is the way They see things. Thanks
