    bell pepper is like when an artist posts a full on painting that gets maybe two likes , then posts a random doodle they spent three minutes on that gets like a billion likes and a movie deal

    When I was in first grade, my class made these books for a statewide illustration contest. I felt like I just threw down what I immediately thought of onto the page. I wrote and illustrated a story about a mouse with a chocolate shop who changed her chocolate recipe because her shop was struggling to make money. She ended up making lots of money with her new exciting chocolates. Apparently the judges were excited to see a first grader write about entrepreneurship, because I got third in the state in my division and got to visit the state capitol. It was really cool. Now I’m an artist with a bachelor of fine arts. 😊

    There is no crueler insult to a 4th grader than comparing their art to Barney

    4:15 I’ve learned that when complementing a child’s art, never guess the object they have drawn. Don’t say “nice dog” or “oh is that supposed to be me?” Say “I love your use of colors, they work really well together” or “wow you drew your lines really good. You know it’s hard to draw good lines, and you drew very good lines” or “oh hey ___ color is my favorite I love that you used it in your art” etc. because unless you are 110% sure you know what they drew, do not guess it. You may think it’s a dog when it’s meant to be a horse. You may think it’s a character you recognize when it’s actually a character you don’t know about. Compliment the approach they took in making their art, never the subject they have drawn.

      Thanks for this. I work hours on my silly animal drawings (foxes, dogs, cats, ect.) only for my parents to go “yeah thats a cool uhhhhhhhhh… don… hors…. DEER!” like not even kidding. As a young artist, I appreciate compliments.. when they actually apply to the artwork I made.😀

    • Lydia says:

      I ask, “Can you tell me about what you drew?” Because that’s what you ask real artists. And kids deserve the same dignity of explaining their subjects and artistic choices. Sometimes it’s just a “I drew a thing!” And sometimes it’s, “This character is over here because she’s lonely and these characters are playing here.” And when my very artistic daughter grows up she will answer that question with comments about composition and color choices or assignment prompts. Maybe even some thematic exploration.

    When I was in college one of my professors told us about this “Women in Art” contest the university was having and I was like “well I’m in college to get good at art so I could totally do that.” I took the title literally and thought it was about art with women in it, so I made a few pieces and entered. Unfortunately for me it was actually about women in the art community, so I was a straight cisgender male entering a contest to celebrate women artists and looked like a total butthead. Not my proudest moment.

    Never forget: Matt Groening made the Simpson’s on a napkin at the last minute because he found out fox would own his original comic characters if they made them into a show. So he did a last minute swap. Sometimes it’s the stuff you just “throw away” that hit hardest with an audience. So never stop creating. You never know what will hit.

    When I was 9 my class had an egg decorating competition. Everyone put effort into theirs, the girl who won only put a dolls skirt onto the egg. I’m still really mad about this.
