Call For Zoo-Art ... by Weezilou

Call For Zoo-Art ...

Every child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up. ___Pablo Picasso

This one little notebook has become a slow-to-grow project, so I asked two of my grandkids if they'd draw me some zoo animals to use on the inside covers. Because Bodhi's tiger was a vertical image, I filled in with "Conner" at the San Diego zoo.

As I began with Hazel's "Zoo Monster" I wasn't sure where it was going to lead me...until I remembered a very dangerous monster, indeed!

The subtle background is again, one of the kaleidoscope patterns. Here is the cover I posted awhile back https://365project.org/Weezilou/365/2018-02-11
What a wonderful collection of animals you are documenting!The artistic images enhance your photos beautifully and vice versa. Keep 'em comin'!

You are just the coolest grandmother ever. This book will be fabulous!

Absolutely great idea!

A good attempt and now its there forever!

Both wonderful pieces of art which deserve to have pride of place in your book. I am sure your enthusiasm for all animals will rub off on the children! How they will love your book as they grow! Fav!

@pamknowler Just planning these for notebooks with blank pages; Heather says they fill them fast! With any luck they'll have a page or two left and not torn out to save for looking at when they're older!

What a fun idea! Great things to get out on their wedding days or when they have kids too! Love the Picasso quote, how true is that, eh?
February 23rd, 2018  
Oh, my silly little artists! Mom, I'm glad you're able to do all these wonderful things; life and child-rearing seems to take most of my time these days. I am grateful for you. xo

@biggirlart Your words warm my heart! Ashley told me one of her fond childhood memories was waking at 3 AM and seeing me in my art room... That's when busy mommies find a few minutes to be creative (beyond child-rearing!)

@will_wooderson three-year-olds have the imagination to see things others of us may miss...and they like to glue LOTS of fun stuff to their pictures!

Hahaha I just love her use of googly eyes and did she add a pink tongue too? So creative and fun!!!
March 2nd, 2018  
@cjphoto A tongue! Of course!!! I kept thinking "nose"! See, I've lost that child-edge Picasso spoke of! I knew that "nose" wasn't really working! Kids make noses the shape of triangles!
