Cool designs from Designing Kids.Cool designs and great painting ideas flow from the brushes of these young artists.
Lucinda, Jasmin and Olivia are my grandchildren and I admit to being biased when it comes to admiring their attitude and and willingness to "have a go" at a variety of creative projects.
They have recently opened their own on-line Zazzle store, under my supervision, of course. See some of their exciting products here. The girls are serious about learning all they can about aspects of art processes. Their cool designs, collage ideas and spontaneous drawings are the result of an uninhibited approach and a confidence that, if they give a project their best effort, it usually turns out well. If not, they can always start again!
Here they try their hand at screen-printing and block printing with fabric inks.
...and mono-prints, developed from butterfly drawings. 
Sketches that may be worked up into designs. 
Photography is a way of researching subjects and developing ideas. I think the ideas here may grow and become T shirt designs or perhaps a mouse pad or gift cards. 
Here the girls have picked flowers and played with arranging them - building a "dirt castle" instead of a sand castle. The flowers around the edge of a piece of paper seem to invite a message, don't you think? 
What would you write? This green tree frog, which Lucinda photographed near my front door, looks so cute. He is already on a Zazzle T shirt. If you would like to design your own shirt it's quite easy - just follow directions on the Zazzle site.
Then there are their computer generated designs. 
Aren't they cool designs? Which one do you fancy? You could have the design applied to a mug, a T shirt, a mouse-pad - even to a jacket for your favourite pooch!
And now their young cousins join the creative team with their paper mache sculpture of Princess the Flying Dog and of Max the Flying Turtle. The sky's the limit!
