Listen to your eyes, not your brain i.e. learn how to draw

We all want our kids to remember us forever.  And one way to really make an impression is to teach them a skill that’s useful and at the same time magical.   You know one of the things you’d never thought you’d learn, but it’s quite easy once you know how.

Elizabeth has sent in this really great page to show kids how to draw.  But … “by listening to your eyes, not your brain” they get the artists way of drawing, rather than what we’re “told” to draw in school.

Have a look and see!

    Nice one. Very buddhist too. School might be a much better place if they teach kids not to listen to their brains.

    Hi, Richard! I can’t seem to get the link to work. Any alternatives? Thanks!!!

    Oh no, they’ve taken the site down! I guess the alternative is to Youtube “how to draw …” tutorials!
