Little Van Gogh




The Little One is very into drawing lately although we did not start her on any arts classes.
In the beginning, she liked copying what Zara drew. E.g. Zara drew this.

She drew this (even the font for her name, she’s trying to copy Zara).

And guess what movie they were drawing about?
TANGLED.
Then she stopped copying, and started creating her own. Some following movies she’s watched, like these :


Some following famous characters.

(See if you can make out what she’s drawing, answer is at the end of the post)
Sometimes she just drew whatever that came to the mind.

Or inspired by what she was doing (taking photos, plucking flowers, and wearing the dress that she wore in the photos above).

I was praising her and then I called her Little Van Gogh one day. And since we told her briefly in Singapore who’s Van Gogh and what is he famous for, she replied very quickly, “Don’t call me Van Gogh, after I’ll cut my ear suddenly.” o.O”

Of all the subjects in school, Zara scored the worse for Arts (She got As for all subjects, but B for arts). Hmm.., I think her drawings are quite original, I would have given her higher score myself. Then again I’m her mother, so I may be buyous.
These are the 2 that she did recently and passed up for arts class.
Topic was to desgn and decorate their names.

Topic was to draw something from or with Angry Bird.

Not too bad right?
And answers to Zaria’s drawing : Monster Inc.; Power Puff Girls; Angry Birds (a bit abstract though).
Zaria’s Drawing
Zaria kind of pick up the interest in arts from Zara. During the school holidays, when Zara spent time drawing, Zaria too would request for paper, and joined in. Sometimes she would ask us for help with drawing certain things, most of the time, she’s on her own.
While Zara made me a handbag, Zaria did this with scraps of colour papers.

Here are some of her pictures, drawn during the school holidays.
She said this is a family.

And here is another family drawing.

Here is one she asked, “You know what is this or not?”

I could only say, “It’s very beautiful. Can you tell me what this is?”
Do you know what this is?

Zaria said, “It’s a mermaid on a rock. See the long hair or not.”
Oh.. ok.
Here is another one she asked me to guess.

I was very confident, “A bird flying towards a mountain.”
She said, “Nooo..”
What do you think it was?

According to her, it is “A bird flying to a diamond castle.” o.O”
And then one day, she was drawing a birthday cake for herself. She asked me to help with the knives, and then she did more doodling, and came over to surprise me with this.
Her first attempt in writing her name.
All these before she turned 3.
