our two children share lots in common: eye color, dislike of most vegetables, love of board games. but one area where they totally diverge is art. child A cannot care less about anything artistic. if s/he is ever forced in any small way to sit down and work on an art project, s/he will do it half-heartedly for the minimum required time before discarding it in pursuit of bigger and better things.
child B, on the other hand, will sit at an art project for two hours straight, intensely focused on the matter at hand with a critical eye. and after months of painstakingly laboring over coloring books, choosing the exact shade of peach for cinderella's face, or selecting coordinating markers for snow white's dress and shoes, s/he has recently moved on to drawing freehand. faced with a blank sheet of paper, s/he'll decide what to create and then somehow come up with an amazing final product that's proportionally correct and even bordered with a contrasting hue to really make it stand out.
(did the mention of princesses help you figure it out?)
