Young Artists

As challenging as teaching art to young people can be, occasionally I find huge rewards in looking at their work and their comments, which all seem so casual but can produce a real revelation in my mind.  

Last week after I commented, "you really like color don't you?" my six year old student responded:
"Well, first I like my detail - then color - actually quality comes first, then detail then color."
Genius.
Here is the piece we were examining:

Day to Night Dessert

 And another student's sketch that I pulled out of the trash, because its the best thing I've ever seen:
