A photo taken by Ailbhe:

Linnea's waiting-for-supper drawing of a fairytale castle on a hill, with three turrets, a prison underneath which is very dark and bad, and an underground tunnel. The slightly alarming fairy has butterfly wings.

Representational art

This morning before breakfast Emer drew a BIG bider with eyes which had pupils. She has now made the change to deciding what to draw first and then representing it in ever-increasing detail on paper.

But is it Art?

My daughter is a genius. No, really! Not only is her new word "Brilliant!" (as in, oddly, "The dark is brilliant, isn't it Mummy?") but she can draw with remarkable anatomical accuracy, as evidenced by this amazing chalk-on-blackboard representation of a giant:

Note the pointy head, eyes, mouth, central body, arms with hands, and you can't see the legs with feet.

Clearly I should have sent her to nursery so she could develop to her full potential. She's not quite two and a half, after all.
