A Beautiful Mind

An artist starts from a very young age; from the time a fragile mind tries to be artistic in whatever way. A baby’s first attempt at being artistic is when the baby holds up a crayon and starts scribbling on the floor, wall or any surface the baby could reach or when the baby strives to stock up a couple of blocks and creates a new image. The minute we see our baby do this our hearts jumps for joy as we recognize our baby’s work. Often we try to catch that moment with a camera or call people to look at it with their own eyes. From there on we support our child and buy them art supplies for them to excel.

With much support our child can enhance their skills in art by giving their needs, appreciating their work and giving some tips. It’s very important that we don’t pull them down and discourage them for it will hurt their delicate feeling and they will carry that forever. Trying to be good at making art is not as easy as making pie. It’s not something that could be learned overnight or cold be bought in store. It takes years of experience and hard work to reach that certain level of excellence. Keeping strong heart and not giving up is the primary key whether it’s oil painting or water color, or use sable or bristle brush, you need to keep them focused on their work and appreciate them, it would bring delight on their part and let us always remember how beautiful their mind is.
