There are some new drawings done by Mason up in the art gallery. You can get to the gallery by visiting the Photos section. I keep meaning to rename it to “galleries” but then forget. I’ll try to do that soon.
We’ve been having a good time with Mason and learning to draw. I read a really interesting chapter about drawing in a book on how babies develop mentally. It provided some good suggestions for prompting children to draw things they are familiar with. We tried it and these new pictures are the result.
It’s very hard not to push Mason toward drawing things a certain way. I have an idea about how things should look and I sometimes try to get him to draw that way. However, once we got him talking about his drawings, it became obvious that he really is already making his own representations of certain objects. It’s very fun and we’re learning a lot about how he sees things.
Stop in and check out these new drawings. My favorite is his portrait of Mommy. Daddy with Banana is fun but the portrait of Mommy was where he used the most detail.
