Austin LOVES drawing, he draws and draws and draws constantly, but to be perfectly honest he's not much of an artist, most of his drawings are very abstract and I have to ask "what's that?" Yes yes yes I know you're supposed to say "so tell me about it" so your don't crush their confidence, but that is never what pops out of my mouth when I see a rectangle and he tells me it's a tree. He has definitely improved lately though, even progressing to the point where he draws bodies on people, as opposed to their limbs coming straight from their heads . . .
Anyway, the other day my mum and dad gave him this dinosaur book that came free with the Sunday paper - one of those ones where you get a free model and fact sheet the first week and then have to buy one every week for the next 10 weeks to complete the collection. He was fascinated with the book, and it had all these sleeves to put in the fact sheets in of the weekly dinosaur, but he decided to fill the sleeves with his own drawings of dinosaurs - and surprisingly I think they are pretty good (and cute).
falling asleep with his dinosaur book . . .
These drawings are fantastic!!! The Spinosaurus is my favourite.
ReplyDeletehe had to fill the sleeves as mum was too mean to collect them for him !! I have photos ready to blog about my therapy sessions !!!! Its awesome watching the drawing progressing - especially as Alex favoured "rollercoasters" ( scribble !!) for soooooo long !! Great Dinosaurs Austin - Alex was very impressed !
ReplyDeleteLinda you know me too well . . .
ReplyDeletei have a full set for him for christmas !! ha ha ha !!
ReplyDeleteOk cool, I wasn't sure whether to buy Alex the electric guitar or drums for his birthday so I got both!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt's the coolest thing to observe their drawing skills improving isn't it? I never get sick of it. These dino pictures are really awesome. Forget the little plastic sleeves, frame them!
