In the children's childcare centre, the teachers often give the children paper to draw on while waiting for us parents to come get them. Thus, in the past few years, I often find many pieces of paper with Isaac's doodles in his bag. Asher & Shawna are still at the age where they aren't really able to draw something recognisable, but Isaac's drawings has progressed to the stage where he can do so.
Being a mummy brings out the hoarder in me, and I just couldn't bear to throw his drawings away. Thus, I started to collect them and bind them by the year, into a booklet. I also did that for the twins artwork that they bring back from school. Such a waste to throw them away, I thought. I tried to curb my extreme hoarder instinct by forcing myself to throw some of the art or craftwork that was too difficult to keep - like too three dimensional or had organic material like beans that I was afraid would grow mouldy in time.
I like the speech bubbles on the drawing on the left. Think it's some car chase or something! Big race on the right side drawing too! |
And then I also had the idea to start taking videos of Isaac talking about his drawings - I thought this would be a good way to expose him to give him experience of presenting his work to others. Heard they have to do Show & Tell in primary school, so why not have some practice eh? Besides, I think the kids are still at a pretty cute age and I want to take videos of them talking and such... before they get too self-conscious about it - which reminds me, I must take more videos of them!
Without further ado, let us welcome Isaac and Asher with Isaac's drawings! :)
If you're wondering why the boys are "slanging" - I'm not sure either. Perhaps they perceive that as The Presentation Voice or tone to adopt.
Love the drawing of Earth near the bottom left of the left picture! :) On the right hand side, Isaac draws a Zoo. I remember him being fixated on drawing Zoos for a period of time. |
This is a good idea! I always feel like a hoarder keeping of Sophie's drawing, colouring, etc. much to the dissapproval of my hubby.
ReplyDeleteHaha yeah! I actually ran by my idea with the hubbs and he agreed that it's a good idea. He also doesn't like me to hoard, but we kinda strike a balance by throwing away the ones that are too 3-D and difficult to keep. Also, I was more selective, like those doodles with no visible picture, I just throw. Keep the nice ones! One year keep 10 pieces, before she go P1, you'd have one booklet of 40 pages or so? Very manageable! :)

ReplyDeleteBinding them into books is such a great idea! I've been throwing lots away. oops. Show and tell is a great way to build confidence and vocab! They do this at Abrakadoodle - one of the features I really like about the art school :)
