She showed my this picture Kyle (a kindergartener) drew and explained that perspective is drawing different sizes of objects to show distance. I looked at the picture and I was blown away. She was right. Kyle drew this little racquetball scene and even the racquet is smaller than the racquet in the forefront. I was amazed that he knew to draw the person before drawing the net.
My paternal Grandmother was an amazing artist and so many of my Clark cousins inherited that talent. In my immediate family only my younger sister was blessed. I'm beginning to be convinced more and more that Kyle was blessed with a talent. And I'm not just saying this because he goes through more computer paper than a print shop. You should see this kid's Huge folder of pokeman cards he's invented. He draws his little creature and makes sure he has a relevant name, gives him all these powers and numbers. It's amazing.
(by the way, I don't know who Rod is. It must have been a piece of scrap paper at my neighbor's house.)

I'm impressed! He also positioned the farther objects higher on the paper. There already he shows three ways of showing perspective. I'd like to see how he draws houses and trees. These, along with people, are objects we used to evaluate a student's artistic maturity. I'll dig out the old evaluation pages from my dusty retirement boxes. I see that he also has realistic proportion and detail on the bodies, especially for his age. Maybe you could ask him what Grandma Clark's house looks like with its trees. Any, he truly does have a gift.
Wow, that is really amazing! He's only 5?!
