You should immediately bookmark the blog What My Kids’ Art Says (and submit your kid’s artwork too)! I first found the link to this unique site on Design Mom and totally agree with her prediction that it will be the next big thing.
Dan Consiglio’s blog gives me some hope that I will be able to understand the meaning behind all the glitter, cotton-ball, hand-print-turkey, macaroni artwork that my daughter is going to create in the next decade. You will love his humor and sarcasm… even his profile blurb had me chuckling: I have three kids. I know art. I think we’re done here.
I submitted the below masterpiece created by my daughter Sienna and it was reviewed recently. But you’ll have to visit Dan’s blog to read for yourself his interpretation. I knew my child’s use of washable animal stamps was genius, but his review only confirms it for me.
As an artist I love looking back on work I’ve done to see how my style has changed and progressed over the years. I’ve always been diligent about taking pictures and documenting paintings and projects but there are a few that got away. I refer to them as my “lost paintings.” I know other artists probably go through the same thing. My friend Shari sold her first painting at age 19 and in her exact words it was her “absolute favorite painting” that she ever painted and she doesn’t have a picture of it.
