It is Friday and definitely my favorite day of the week. What is yours? Its been a little on the crazy side with my Etsy Shop now official and learning my way through it. Click HERE to see it. I would love if you helped spread the word :) Drop me a line and let me know what you think too!
And for our results...
Kid Character Creator: Anna (age 7), Elliot (age 9)
You may notice a theme going on between last weeks and this weeks on Anna's. If you haven't checked in, you can take a peek by scrolling down. Current events have definitely influenced her designs. She has had a couple big mosquito bites with these warmer evenings (nothing serious), and they've been bothering her. This is another good reason to have your child CREATE A CHARACTER! It may shed some light on what is on his/her mind. Especially when they don't feel like sharing details about their day - clues could pop up in artwork. Try it with them next week and let me know how it works!
I had a little fun with Bat Kid. So here's a progression of where he was and how he finished...
What led me to his creation was the notch in the BLOB. It reminded me of a bat. Since it was parallel to the ground, then it had to be flapping/flying back: Bat Kid must be running. I veered off the outline to get the rest of his body to work, but that's the great thing about using BLOBS. They inspire an idea just enough to get a vision, then you have the license to do whatever you want, with or without the outline. No rules here. Just to MAKE SOMETHING FUN! Have a Batastic weekend!
