Happy

Talent is talent. You can't put an age on brilliance and the members of Cat Class have shown a considerable amount of natural ability in the art department, specifically self portraits. Using crayons as a medium, on standard 8x11inch white paper, these miniature Michelangelos showed what true beauty and emotion looks like.

David's interpretation of  a happy face looks more confused than anything.  I do like the fact that he incorporated jewelry into his piece. The pink necklace really adds some pop. 

JiAhn has a very realistic self portrait here....realistic if she was a 50 year old man with no nose and male pattern baldness. 

I sent a copy of this to New Line Cinema and they're developing a horror movie based on this drawing.  They're thinking seriously about a multi-movie deal, something along the lines of Freddie Krueger or Candy Man.  Could potentially be called Zipper Mouth. 

Because who wouldn't be happy with 2 mouths and ears right beside their eyeballs?  Also note Ryan's name in the top right corner of the drawing.  The R and the Y in the middle are pretty solid, but the A at the beginning and the N at the end could use a little bit of work.  Practice practice, little buddy. 

WoongJay's picture is pretty solid.  The facial features are in the correct place, for the most part, and he's even jazzed up his guy with some facial hair.  What gets me about this picture are the drawn on tracheotomy scars on the front of the throat, which he circled and pointed out when he brought the drawing up to me. He pointed at the two black lines and the dot, beamed with pride, then walked away.  WoongJay is happy when he has a carton of Camels?  I'm still a bit confused how that equates to happiness, but he knows, so i'm diggin it. 

Brian is a perfectionist.  He gets super embarrassed whenever he thinks he's done something wrong or not well enough.  As I was walking around checking on the kids drawings,  Brian frantically covered his up and began crying. I felt bad that he was so upset, so I threw away his first draft without even looking at it and gave him a fresh piece of paper so he could start over.  When he finished, he happily walked up to me with this drawing, like "yeah thisss is what is was going for." I"m sure this is far superior to his first.  Orange cheeks and a mouth around the neck, true signs of happiness. 

I really don't know what to say about this picture because every time I look at it I start laughing.   Literally i'm sitting in my apartment right now...alone...and laughing.  Jessica really took the teeth thing to heart. God bless her.  The more I look at this, I feel that it could also be a contender for the main character in a horror movie.
