Both of my children were given Soft Body Liquitex Acrylics
to work with on a pre-gessoed canvas
stretched over 24 x 48 inches. The intent was to elevate our children’s artwork by simply increasing the size and scale of the medium. Our stainless steel refrigerator did not have magnetic capabilities, so the bare walls of our house became our gallery space.
Here is the finished piece:
To this day, my son prefers to work abstractly and my daughter still leans representational. Whenever he and I are waiting somewhere, he will ask to paint on my Samsung Note Phone
and produce a monochromatic color field. I suspect this compulsion will accompany him into adulthood.
