RE: Memories of my School Days: Watercolor painting ”My first Art lessons”
hi @stef1 nice painting you have.. you were lucky to have great art teacher that encourage her students to freely express themselves through their art without restricted to any rules. I did not have the same experiences as you had with your art teacher. I have the opposite, my art teacher in my early age asked us to follow their way of art, for example,in coloring, we should only follow the color that she had in her drawing/coloring and must color inside the line. My parents didn't support anything related to art because they thought it has no future. Now that I am an adult, I think they were wrong. They should encourage children freely express themselves through any medium they're interested in, be it art or other hobby they have passion at. I appreciate any creations that coming from human creativity. Thank you for sharing your arts with us steemian 😍
I can imagine and understand what you mean. As parents we see everything pragmatic and worry about the future for our children, we know that Art is not always a profession that you can financially be satisfied. But in children's year it does not really matter, they want to enjoy the childhood. Now I see it differently but still trying to leave some space and freedom for my son too :)
