What a beautiful mind your child has <3I hope she keeps it with her forever.
To make a mistake we can learn from, we have to do something, but most of what we do is passive now, so the learning potential is also heavily reduced.
I've always had a bittersweet relationship with physical art also, precisely because of that reason. with photography, I see I've improved thanks precisely to this - the stream of tangible mistakes I've left in my wake. With art, more or less.
Smallsteps sounds like a wonderfully creative child (and smallsurprises there). I believe in time, expressing herself through varied artistic mediums could be extremely rewarding towards the one art she'll choose (maybe) to focus on more specifically.
Happy CheeseDay.
Do you keep trying with physical art too? I think there is something about it that can help open other creative pursuits. Artistic cross-training.
I think she will explore a bit, but I suspect over the next few years, music will dominate.
Happy CheeseDay to you too!
I do, and agree. I realize photography and drawing will never be major areas of focus for me, but see the value in having another creative medium (beside writing) and what positive effect it can have on my writing. :)
