And they have real emotional content too - the violinist and mousehole and the going on stage drawings have real thought and feelings going on in them.<br />I can understand (a bit) why he is so private about them, they are obviously very expressive of a part of him and if he's very self-critical, he probably hates other people looking too closely. How does he respond to you when you tell him how great they are? Some kids, well some adults too, just really struggle with being praised, it's like they can't bear all the attention and focus being on them.<br />Anyway - I know you can't tell him from me, but if you COULD, I'd want you to tell him he's AMAZING!!!!! xxxxxxxCurtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-37492901976555994172012-03-11T23:19:16.045-04:002012-03-11T23:19:16.045-04:00That is very nice.

I remember drawing Spider-Man at that age.<br /><br />Art is like anything. It means something to us, and when people try to categorize it, it can be somewhat discerning. Even into adulthood people wanted to know why I painted something a certain way and I didn't always appreciate explaining because I liked the idea of them getting it from the image not my mouth.Nobodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06353323782087761100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-52355060976996835662012-03-11T21:06:31.552-04:002012-03-11T21:06:31.552-04:00yeah--OR me!yeah--OR me!karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-31845337768825711452012-03-11T19:38:19.006-04:002012-03-11T19:38:19.006-04:00Jack's art is cool... even if he won't EVE...Jack's art is cool... even if he won't EVER draw one of me. wah!<br /><br />aimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-37239913617489737182012-03-11T18:33:13.442-04:002012-03-11T18:33:13.442-04:00Leauxra, I don't mind at all.

He's a massive control freak, and he likes his stuff to be PRIVATE. <br /><br />It's probably kind of like the kid who is embarrassed if he gets caught recording his own singing, but Jack takes it to the EXTREME.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-59175766167022968122012-03-11T18:31:11.905-04:002012-03-11T18:31:11.905-04:00thanks!

Why, he's upstairs in his room FREAKING OUT even as I type this because the elaborate "breakfast machine" he's trying to build with a little of this and a little of that keeps falling apart. <br /><br />That's a WHOLE other story though. <br /><br />I've got all of his drawings in a big bin. We actually have to hide his drawings from him, because if he sees older ones and sneers at the earlier lack of finesse, he trashes them. <br /><br />There are the odd drawings he looks at for a little while. He liked his Van Gogh ones a lot.karensomethingorotherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14476544335741075497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7954083667216359005.post-70217445174728485882012-03-11T18:28:08.325-04:002012-03-11T18:28:08.325-04:00Yeah, it's fun to see how he evolves, eh Melis...Yeah, it's fun to see how he evolves, eh Melissa!
