Collaborating with a 4-year Old

One day, while my daughter was happily distracted in her own marker drawings, I decided to risk pulling out a new sketchbook I had special ordered. It had dark paper, and was perfect for adding highlights to. I had only drawn a little in it, and was anxious to try it again, but knowing our daughter’s love of art supplies, it meant that if I wasn’t sly enough, I might have to share. (Note: I’m all about kid’s crafts, but when it comes to my own art projects, I don’t like to share.) Since she was engrossed in her own project, I thought I might be able to pull it off. Ahhh, I should’ve known better. Oh no she didn’t! Not surprisingly, I LOVED what she drew. Soon, she began flipping through my sketchbook, looking for more heads. Sometimes I would give her suggestions, like “maybe she could have a dragon body!” For example, the filled-in marker of the one above, she told me, was a chrysalis, for the caterpillar to transform into a butterfly.

O sincretismo artístico de Cesar Santos O artista cubano-americano Cesar Santos, mistura os estilos artísticos de diversas origens, do renascimento ao modernismo. Com uma técnica invejável ele inspira uma harmonia entre o natural e o conceitual para criar obras provocativas e ao mesmo tempo dramáticas. O trabalho de Santos explora novas interpretações de pinturas clássicas, mescladas com elementos modernos dentro de uma mesma pintura.
