a child in my class made this drawing
and there is something about
the honest simplicity of it
eyes wide open to the world
that i absolutely love
—
“if i create from the heart, nearly everything works; if from the head, almost nothing.”
– marc chagall
Wonder full!

If we were looking at this picture in an art museum, we wouldn’t have to stand trying to figure out the meaning. We wouldn’t have cock our heads and say, “Hmm.” We wouldn’t have to buy a book interpreting the artist’s life view etc etc.
We would enjoy the wide eyed simplicity and move on.

I can see why it touched you so much. It would be a great logo for a charity.

Most art is as complicated as a fancy cocktail. This artist just put the bottle in front of you with a shot glass. Love the simplicity!

I love children’s drawings. Simple yet meaningful.
The first rule I was taught in my teacher’s training was, never tell a child what I think the drawing is about. In case I get it wrong and hurt that child’s feelings. Instead, say'” I love your drawing. Please tell me about it.”
I am amazed by children’s beautiful and meaningful descriptions of their simple drawings.
Best wishes.
