An illustration for little people

I have an opportunity to run some art sessions for parents and young children. The sessions are through a local agency and aim to use art as a fun way of inspiring expression, communication and closeness. Yesterday I did a lil bit of making so I have some ideas up my sleave.

This illustration was inspired by a small plastic vase I picked up in an op shop a while ago. I drew a very simple line drawing and coloured it using coloured pencils. Then I scanned and finished using fabrics and textures in Photoshop.

Depending on the participants and their ideas and confidence level, I might use this as a starting point. We may explore what's in the bag, create a home or fun place for the deer mum and baby, take the creatures on a journey or make stories or art inspired by the picture. It should be fun :)
