Drawing With Children

One of my greatest pleasures is drawing with children. I only need to give a child a spark of an idea and their imagination runs wild. When I watch them working carefully and intently with line and color, I am inspired on all levels of my being. Their work is playful and unplanned. They do not think much before they do, they just live within the experience of drawing. What is revealed on the paper, their creation, is not separate from them, it is alive with them. These drawings are true acts of creation occurring in front of my eyes. Children, like all humans, are creators and through the act of art-making we live within the realm of the gods.
