My son has become an artist...almost overnight.  For so long I tried to convince him that he can draw and be creative and he fought it.  He never believed it!  Well, on his own, he started to draw, and has come a long way from the little stick men he used to scribble on paper.  It is fun for me to watch his creativity flourish.  Another area of art he has fallen in love with is creating videos, music, dialogue, and special effects.  He is getting pretty good at it!  I signed him up for online classes, Youth Digital Arts School, and what fun that has been!  Bryan is learning about animation, drawing and painting on the computer and will eventually make video games.  It is a great opportunity for him. 

    Isn't it funny how kids develop?  I have tried to get Bryan to draw, to at least learn the basics, for the last, well, forever.  He has never been interested.  He would humor me and scribble a few lines, but then give up.  On his own, he was ready to try and ready to learn.  A friend of ours, and artist herself, along with my mom, who is an amazing artist, encouraged Bryan to keep going and build on his desire to learn.  He has followed their advice and I have stepped out of the way.  The result is...Bryan has a sketchpad full of drawings and many hours are spent working on his new hobby.  You have to love that!!!  I sure do!

    Fall is approaching, the air feels differently and all is well here at Da Cabin.  We are busy and excited about this year of learning.  I hope that you are having fun as well.
