Self art at Globalart

The girls still go for art class at Globalart.  JE usually finishes off a page of the book at each 2-hour session.  SE however, can take 3-4 sessions (which works out to a whole month!!) to finish one page.  Why the disparity?

This seal below has already gone through two sessions.  Still far from completion, as you can see.

Only half-done


The other panel gives a clue.  Note the self-drawn small objects.

Now what are these?

Detailed story

Apparently she was complaining about this new Book2 as compared to the one just finished.  And there are various depictions of Book2 being attacked with spears, pitchforks, guns...

Sigh... how not to be slow at the real colouring like this.  I'm on the lookout for a real art teacher for this girl.  For now, she still enjoys the classes so we continue.

  1. Maybe art lessons that need not have to follow any books but allow for more creative and imaginative art will be more suitable for SE. Some kids do not like to follow books.

    1. Yeah I am leaning towards that as well. Need to locate something near enough as I don't want to spend my whole weekend driving them around and waiting!

  2. SE likes to express herself through drawing comic strips with narratives rather than boring colouring. this means she is a creative girl.

    1. True that! The teachers tell me it can be quite a fight getting her to colour - she'd not want to use the colour they suggest, she'd not want to follow the technique they are teaching.

  3. The side panels are more interesting than the seal! :-)

    1. Haha actually true also. Just that her drawings are super-small.
