Process Note: Norman, my grandson likes to sketch. He has good sense of the basics. He hopes to 'promote' himself towards using colors more, forthwith.
It started just naturally
with scraps of papers aplenty
the back portion of lined notebooks
and also proper drawing blocks
and also proper drawing blocks
At his own pace he toys around
A pencil in his hand all the time.
Use the drawing block I used to tell him
Not to sketch on both sides to organize better
Not to sketch on both sides to organize better
To have them framed would be easier
Kids being kids they treasure
Their freedom of choice
To be creative is not to be forced
His ‘repertoire’ comprises superheroes
And I never will try otherwise to impose
The unexpected came by early this month
I decided to isolate my sketches in one blog
The unexpected for Norman was a few days ago
when I collected
whatever scraps with his sketches
He was thrilled!
I told Norman both of us are now expected
to chalk up the numbers and produce more sketches
to chalk up the numbers and produce more sketches
He was in total agreement
I am thrilled!
