Children Art Class

Artwork by S: 4 years old 
September 2010

He attended a children's art class at Malaysian Institute of Art for a month (4 lessons) in September, just after he turned 4. He was the youngest in the class. I was quite impressed to see him sitting independently and listening to the teacher. He draws very fast and confidently and hardly uses the eraser. He could sit for an hour just doing the drawing and painting. However, during the last half hour, he got restless. The teacher found it challenging to teach him initially as he always want to draw what he wants and wasn't open to suggestions. That's why the boat in the second picture turned into a caravan, as he loved wheels. We ended the class after 4 lessons, as I didn't have the time to send him and it was too far away from my place.

S is the smallest and youngest child there


The teacher asked him to draw anything he liked, and he drew trucks - his favourite drawing object at that point in time


"Caravan on water" - was supposed to be a boat actually

"Sunflowers"

Inspired by "The three little pigs". I liked the way he used the paints like a game and splashed brown "mud" on the small pig in front.
