I love this thread! Alex has hated drawing ever since he was 2, but recently has developed a strange enthusiasm for drawing maps, thanks to Monkey Island and LEGO Elves... so here is one of his "maps", featuring a gigantic portal to another world (compass in the corner clumsily added by me), and a picture of Naida from LEGO Elves.

Ella drew her nursery teacher, complete with 'crazy rainbow hair' She insists on eyelashes now. Think I might have anither budding artist in my hands!

Some amazing pictures here!
We're trying to gently encourage pen holding with ds1 who starts school in a few weeks and has so far point blank refused. But he is getting there and here is his effort from today. He is left handed and had a go at writing his name but it was backwards?!

Wow, that's impressive! Have you heard of the "draw a person" test? It's a fairly reliable ways of assessing intelligence in children. Yours would indicate that Ella is quite advanced. I suppose you probably already knew that about her though!

 

[CaptainMummy]

I know that when they are going to start school, on their visit the teacher asks them to draw a picture of themselves as that gives the teacher a good idea of how they will perform (my sister has been teaching p1s for the last couple of years) but didn't know it was reliable. Ella has always been advanced, Paige was the same with her drawing at this age, and is ridiculous now. She draws way better than me! (She isn't a genius when it comes to her schoolwork though, she is in the top groups but she has to really work at things whereas some of her classmates just 'get it' so even though she is miles better at drawing than her whole class, she's not the cleverest.)

I was like that too, miles and miles ahead with drawing, always but seriously horrendous with anything to do with numbers, still am

Well a quick wiki has indicated this is not the case?? my son can't draw and is very intelligent

Ellas picture this morning of her nursery teacher (apparently every person she draws is the same teacher!) complete with long hair and fingers

Loving Sophie's picture, very imaginative

 

[CaptainMummy]

Ella did this today. Im not sure what it is, but there is grass and sky. She sort if just scribbled a bit in the middle before deciding to do a background (Paige had just drawn a picture with the same background so ella copied her)

These pictures always amaze me. I wonder whether my son (almost 4) could draw like this if he tried. The best I have is a bunny which was an oval with ears, nothing ever gets coloured in unless it's a predrawn picture.
Sophie's picture is so detailed, did she draw 6 legs on the bee deliberately?

 

[CaptainMummy]

Teeny weeny drew her first 'real' picture today. Complete with arms, legs, eyes nose and mouth. She did get help from Ella (who told her what to draw next but never showed her anything) but I think it is amazing. She can colour amazingly too, and has been holding her pens properly since 12 months! Third budding artist
