For her birthday, we took our daughter to The Colour factory . She selected an Alladin's lamp and they provided the ceramic colours... she had a great time painting.. And we got back the fired and glossy 'lamp' after a week. She did almost all of it herself.. the only parts she missed were at the rim and a bit near the handle.. she was really proud of her work...
The last month, we picked up a painting kit for our daughter... the normal non-toxic paint cakes embedded in a plastic tray. So most evenings, it has been a demand for her colours and she would sit for atleast an hour and more, 'pienthing'....
Some times, I was asked to draw a picture for her to 'pienth', but it did not seem to matter after a while... her creativity really overflowed the boundaries......!!!
Her teachers also told me that she was very enthusiastic about colouring, but she did not like it when she was guided to stay within the lines.. at this age, all that matters to us is that she enjoys the activity...
This one was another gift for her birthday - a glass-painting kit for kids. She was concentrating on the squirrel alone, and layering one colour on top of another !!!
:-) that is how MF Hussain paints... so Ichu is destined for artistic greatness... nobody cares much these days about painting within lines.
ReplyDeleteThe aladdin's pot is very cute actually.
