Been starting to do lots more face- & body-painting this year coz I think my cutie lil’ niece is at a nice age to start introducing her to art and colours. To think of it, she is my free canvas!
There are loads of benefits to let kids experience face-painting i must say:
1. It teaches them to be still and allow something to take place
2. It allows them build trust to let a stranger paint on them (if the artist they do not know)
3. It lets them see the artist at work first-hand – the mixing of colours, brush strokes, etc, etc.
4. If they can choose a picture they want at that point, it teaches them to make a decision.
5. Most of all, it makes them SMILE.
This boy smiled after the photo. Yes, he was a happy customer. Boy, if you happen to see you here in my blog, just want to thank you for letting me use this photo. (Painting done in 2006)
