Too late for that, She's already a 'real' artist.

Wow this looks like a photo!

It always amazes me how a talented artist can translate what they see into hand movements. How many of us look at an image yet don't really see it? I think talented artists like your daughter see details the rest of us take for granted.

 

I heard that "what did the fox say" ditty today at pool. Someone played it on the jukebox. I didn't expect to hear it in a bar of adults.

She was born with the talent and has studied art for years but I forced her to take math/science classes in school to have something else on that degree. It must have skipped a generation because my Dad did oil paintings and I can't draw or even paint by number.

Me too!
My mother had me doing some paint-by-the-numbers things when I was about 11 years old. My eyes and hands were good enough to follow the instructions, but it felt like being punished. I am still so bad at art things that MSPaint is a serious improvement over my natural talents.

I learned drafting, sheet metal, and carpentry. I can read a schematic faster than I can read English, but things with curves or differing shades of light, dark, and colors baffle me.

You just have the mechanical/facts/logic brain. I've had this talk with teachers (mainly female with the electronics advisory board for the local community college in San Diego when I still lived in CA) before who just don't understand that forcing too much Feely-Artsy on those types of people is an easy way to create a dropout.

Absolutely! The main reason I took drafting classes was because I knew I'd never do a legible drawing without a T-square and triangles. If I had to do that Carradine drawing, I'd be as lost as an art major trying to wire a furnace!

I think the key phrase was...

 

Hello,

How about Heidi Klum?

Bertus

 

hmm...

Expertise in the arts vs science is usually not symmetrical in the job world and I knew studying formal trigonometry/geometry would make her a better artist in the long run because now she understands how computers draw and render mathematically. On the flip-side, most of the people with good logic brains need a little rounding of corners too.

I spent a year with an artful-crafty type and I kind of absorbed it by osmosis. For my going away present, I drew a page that would make a single cell in a comic book, and it was almost passable quality. A year later I had to use a coffee can to draw a circle on a piece of drywall.

Human brains are adaptable, but without an external influence, they will snap back to their own, "normal".

 

....I knew I'd never do a legible drawing without a T-square and triangles.

Funny. I used to say I couldn't draw a straight line with a ruler.

 

...that Carradine drawing...

Do you agree with my assessment that it is a spitting image?

And a very talented one, I should say!

My wife is like that and I am not. She constantly runs her photos of her crafts work by me asking which looks better. I have no clue about what I am supposed to be looking at let alone how to compare it to another nearly identical picture.

Her thing lately is hand painted coffee mugs and every single one of them gets ran by me with the same question, 'Would you buy this?' Well yes I would but I would not pay $25 for a mug that I can buy in bulk for $3 just to hold some liquid.

Personally all I care about is that her arts and crafts giver her something to focus her OCD on other than what I am doing wrong by her standards and expectations.

 

My wife is like that...

My wife watches TV.

Incessantly.

Oh my... you must have completely different personalities...

 

Mine doesn't watch a lot of TV, but she likes "talking head" shows, which drive me nuts...especially when all the heads talk over each other and still don't say anything coherent. And when there is "breaking" news, they drag in any and every has-been they can find, and call him/her an expert, but they don't listen to what he/she says because they are too busy asking the next question in order to look smarter than the other heads. And let me tell you about Nancy Grace: blah, blah, blah, blah

Hey, are you listening to me? Are you?

Wow. Close.
