I do lots of outline art designs, drawings that can be colored, painted in on tshirts, aprons, and now also Keds shoes. I do this because when I was a kid, art wasn't seen as a real way to get a job, have a career. And I myself have had to overcome a lot of that belief to get to where I am today. So I know it's important to encourage our strengths, to support our desires.
So if your child, or anyone for that matter, likes art, please do encourage it. By creating Outline Art designs that can be colored in, I offer young and old alike opportunities to get satisfaction from wearing something that they helped to create. That, I think, is a great investment.
Yay to artists.
