Last weekend while I was home in Smithers I came across a picture that my mom keeps under the glass cover of her jewellery box. When I was in my teen years I would often wonder why she valued this piece of scribble I had done for her so many years ago. After reading Chapter 5 in the textbook it is easy to see that I was right on track with my drawings.
I just think it is so neat to now look back on something like this and see how far I have come over the years. I started out drawing pictures of my mom with a massive head full of madness, no body or arms, and rather lengthy svelte legs and now my mom has all her body parts where they ought to be!
By revisiting some of my old art projects from my younger years I have realized the importance of allowing young children to express themselves how they wish. I think if my mom told me at the time that I forgot to give her legs or arms and she was out of proportion, I may have given up on the visual arts altogether. Instead, my mom has cherished this simple picture for so many years!

I love your drawing Sarah!
And, I love that your mom kept it too.
(I also like that your mom has either a very small body under her chin or a beard... )
