HAD A WONDERFUL GROUP OF YOUNG ARTISTS OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS JOIN ME AT CANAL VILLAGE FOR 2 HOURS OF ART AND LOTS OF FUN.
THE YOUNG GUESTS ARE PRODUCING SOME INTERESTING WORK AND I AM PROUD OF DISPLAY IT ON MY BLOG.
GREAT WHEN YOU THINK THAT THESE YOUNG KIDS PRODUCE THIS STANDARD OF ART FROM A SINGLE 2 HOUR LESSON.

I WAS ASKED TODAY BY ONE OF MY YOUNG STUDENTS HOW SHE WOULD DECIDE WHAT TO PAINT?
I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT SHE COULD USE HER ‘ARTIST LICENCE‘.
SHE SAID SHE DID NOT HAVE A LICENCE AND ASKED ME WHAT THAT WAS.
I EXPLAINED TO HER THAT IT WAS HER IMAGINATION AND THAT EVERYONE HAS ARTISTIC LICENCE THEY JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO USE IT.
SHE QUICKLY GRASPED WHAT I WAS SAYING AND WENT ON TO DO AN GOOD LITTLE ART WORK.
WHEN HER MOTHER ASKED HER HOW SHE WENT AFTER THE CLASS, SHE SAID THAT IT HAD BEEN EASY BECAUSE SHE HAD FOUND HER ‘ARTIST LICENCE‘. HER MOTHER LOOKED BEMUSED AND ASKED HER WHAT THAT WAS AND SHE SAID ‘IT IS SOMETHING THAT I CARRY AROUND WITH ME IN MY HEAD’.
WE ALL ROARED WITH LAUGHTER BUT IN FACT SHE HAD GOT IT, SHE KNEW THE POINT OF THE EXERCISE.

ARTIST LICENCE

EXCELLENT WORK
