Since Mei Mei started preschool this year, her interest in art is becoming more pronounced.
Her teachers has been sharing with us about her flair in art, in particular a great sense with colors (and a penchant for pink). I find that quite surprising as she rarely draws at home, preferring to strip her Barbies, creating a rackus with her garang guni barang or staging the "Goldilocks and Three Bears" show for the 501th time. One thing for sure, she did not inherit those artistic genes from me, as my drawing nerves have stopped developing after kindergarten.
She likes to draw human faces. I like the drawings she does as we are always part of her composition. It might not look proper to some but that's what I like about it! Her style is rather quirky, somewhat looking like aliens most of the times (since they always have big heads). Just a small problem we noticed; she tends to draw with very firm grip, causing her drawing materials to suffer from total and permanent disability after the first use.
Here's some of my favorites:
 |
| Her first few drawings - usually characterised by 2 big dots as the eyes completed with 4 dangling limbs. And she started to add some hair on the head, cos Daddy said it will look nicer. |
 |
| My personal favorite - when I asked what is the big patch of color at the bottom of the face, she said it was chinny chin chin (her lingo for Daddy's goatie). The lollipops-lookalikes are floating balloons. |
 |
| The big blue face in the middle is Daddy, because he wears glasses. Awwwww... |
 |
| This is a portrayal of our family and her classmates. Mummy is the saugsage-looking thingie on the left. |

Guess what this is?
Answer: It's a spider (we thought she was drawing Lion King initially)
