Just finish it!
I'm always looking for new projects for the kids at Juvenile Hall. These are kids with very limited art skills, skills even below mine, and who lack self confidence that they can do anything. So today I'm bringing in some pictures from National Geographic magazines which I have more or less centered on the page and I'm asking the boys to finish the pictures in any way they like -- realistically or imaginatively -- but with some sort of coherence to the starting image. They can choose the picture they want to work with and they can use Prismacolor pencils. I always show them what I did so they won't be too intimidated. So now I'm showing you.
Great that you're doing this stuff with kids. Good for you. I like this image - it has a tropical feel.
ReplyDeleteThat was a great idea you had. I hope they enjoyed the exercise.
