Do you think you can draw?

That is the question whether it is no blood of the soul? No, sorry, this is an art post, not a Shakespeare one! But if I pose that question to you, you might have set your heart fluttering a bit because you know, I can’t draw, she’s going to ask me to draw something. I’m not going to ask you to draw anything yet. But I want you to think about that question and how you would answer if we were together.

And you would probably elaborate on the fact that you can’t draw by telling me that you can draw a stick figure. You have no artistic skill. You’re not gifted, you know, talented. You can’t draw on paint.

Child Art Genius at Work

Now, if I ask a small child that question, the answer would be the absolute opposite. there be a resounding yes, of course, I can draw. Why are you asking me that question? You’ve seen my magnificent pieces. I show them to you every week. You know that I do stuff at home after class and I bring it in. I like to show you all the stuff that mom puts on the fridge and, and I’m really excited about art and I’m brilliant at it. I’m absolutely magnificent at it, actually.

Where do that enthusiasm and confidence go? Because it somewhere disappears between childhood and adulthood. And why is that? Why are small children filled with confidence and enthusiasm, and adults have none? Absolutely none.
So I’m here to answer that question, and also to stop that disappearance from happening.  I am the homeschool and have eight children. There’s only have two left in my little homeschool now, but at one time there were eight and I did survive. I’m also a trained artist. Homeschooling is hard work. Who has time for complicated lessons?

“Wish I Could Draw”

You probably wish you could draw. You’ve spent most of your life wishing you had the talent to be an artist, just for your own enjoyment. So, you are completely overwhelmed by the thought of teaching your own children how to draw. You know that they would love to learn, but where do you begin?

Now, imagine your home filled with enthusiastic budding artists that keep creating day after day for the rest of their lives.  In fact, the love and confidence to create don’t have to disappear. It’s a shame that most people lose that enthusiasm for art and being creative. They go through their life, not painting and drawing anymore. We are born artists who were born loving art and we lose it. Wouldn’t it be exciting if we didn’t lose it? So are you ready to find out how not to lose that excitement, enthusiasm for art in your home?
