Refrigerator Art

Posted on January 31st, 2010 by Jean

It’s been a while since I’ve showcased my daughters’ art. They love to draw daily using pens, pencils, markers and crayons. Sometimes they’ll paint or create little sculptures with “squishy” (Play Doh). I hope you will enjoy their recent sketches.
 
Natalie, age 7, loves to draw girls. She has a unique style, a steady hand, and is surprisingly quick at completing her scenes.

  1. Jean,

    Your girls are very creative and artistic! I love both of their drawings. I think it’s important that children express their creative selves and your girls really show who they are through their drawings.

    lol…you can tell they watch Project Runway with you too!

  2. Thank you Sherri! It was so hard narrowing it down to 6 and 7 pieces. They have so many drawings, and even drew 2 fresh pieces when they realized what I was doing.

    Oh, yes, they LOVE seeing Heidi and the designers on Project Runway.

  4. I love seeing kids’s art.. ENCOURAGE! ENCOURAGE! ENCOURAGE!! .. art is a fantastic outlet for emotions and feelings and ideas..

    I was drawing from as early as I can remember and after I graduated from art school, one of the first things I did was to mentor kids your age who were going through difficult times.. it was very rewarding and helped them “say” things that they weren’t old enough to verbalize.

    … and who knows, maybe one day we’ll be cheering them on in Project Runway!! LOL!!

    You’ve done great things through art, Leese. I’ll be sure to continue encouraging the girls to express themselves. If they get on Project Runway or American Idol, their little dreams would come true. 😀

  7. I love your girls’ artwork!! Kudos to them both! You are such a great mom to encourage them to be artistic.

    I see some similar figure sketches in Pearl’s drawings. Is she inspired by Natalie or is it the other way around?

    Thank you Tammy!
    Pearl is inspired by Natalie in so many ways. Natalie even helped her with the eyes on “Fairy Love”.

  8. These are all really creative and incredibly progressed for their ages. I am impressed! I think you must have nutured their artistic side quite a bit. Good for you!

    Can’t wait to see their work in a few years. 🙂

  10. WONDERFUL. I just love these. My 2 boys and all 3 of my grandchildren love drawing and coloring, painting and making crafts. Both of your girls are very good at it. I think it shows such confidence to draw this way. I’ll bet you give them a lot of praise. It shows. Good for you.

  14. Angelia – Thank you! I’m excited to think how their drawing skills will change & improve over the years. 😀

    Just Kate – Thanks! I think they are little artists. All of these comments are so invigorating to them (and to me, their proud Mom).

    Hi Joy! Yes, I praised them all the time, and have special storage bins to keep their art. That is so fantastic that your sons & grandchildren are creative. It’s a wonderful way to spend time, drawing & crafting.

    Just a Mom – Thank you!!

    SweetieGirzl — Thanks! Me too. I just love it!

    Hi Deb — I’m sorry my comment didn’t show up. 🙁 I had that problem with Montana Lady’s blog too. I tried my wordpress account and my blogger account, but neither of them worked. Oh gosh, sewing?! I’m excited by the prospect of them designing their own outfits. I hope they do because I will totally be behind them.

    Jen512, thank you! I agree; they both do have their own style. One of my friends asked how I could tell their drawings apart. It seems easy. Maybe in time it will be more difficult.

    Hi Jingle! Welcome! I will have to check out your blog too. I love new visitors. Thank you very much for the compliments. 😀
