I have just finished a masterpiece in Crayola which I will now send to my 5 year-old niece. The last time she was at my folks' she made a picture for me, which she then made Mom mail. I figure I ought to return the favor. So I've made a self-portrait geared toward the preschool set, gesturing toward the refrigerator where Devon's picture is proudly displayed. The cats made a special guest appearance, as well. They insisted.
The style is vaguely Picasso-meets-cave painting, but I think its audience will be appreciative.

sorry i got carried away or color me peach
Date: 2005-01-20 06:03 am (UTC)When I used to help out in preschool and kindergarten you could see different coloring styles. Some were perfectionists, some would color with fury bordering on anger, others indifferent. I wonder if their personalities and life stories were mapped out on manila paper.
One more thing, a few years back while browsing in a college book shop I found a box of-I don't remember what they were called. They were (lord help me!) ethnic crayons, so people of color could color people something other then peach. I still have them, they are the most beautiful set of browns!...I went and found them; copper, raw sienna, sepia, burnt orange etc. and peach! I hope they still make them, though I think having them in a college book store was a little to late to help.
