Collaborative painting/drawing

I've started a new project with my girls - collaborative art. It's been a wonderful way to deeply relax (engage other neural pathways) while connecting and collaborating creatively. We all enjoy the results and have so much fun working together.

Our first project was "painting drawings". My 4 year old drew a lovely peacock, and I was inspired to paint a copy of it.

Children aren't bound to rules of symmetry and "the way things should be." It's ok and lovely in her mind for the wings to be asymmetric in shape, size, and pattern. And next, a cheetah:

I could never have created such a character-filled cheetah on my own. the asymmetric of the ear sizes, the arms, the legs, the shape of the head. I'm tempted to turn these drawings/paintings into a stuffed animal!

Looking forward to more of these adventures to come.
