How do you draw when you are 4? / Kako se crta sa 4 godine?

What I am fascinated most about V's drawing is the fluency that he draws with.

He can ALWAYS draw, and he ALWAYS  knows what to draw. He takes a blank paper and a marker and the drawings and lines just pour out of the marker as if he were spilling water. There is never a "What could I draw now?" moment that is so characteristic for a-little-older kids then he is. His drawing can last for hours, and he seems to never get tired or bored or unsatisfied or dissapointed or frustrated or discouraged, or all the other so characteristic things and feelings of the drawing world of a-little-older kids and grown-ups! He doesn't need encouragement nor motivation, nor commenation to draw. He just loves to draw and that's what he does. Simple as that! Beautiful as that! Without interfering of any kind from my part.

And I? I enjoy  this so so much in a kind of an irrational way. It is the unrestrained freedom and spontaneity and love and need for drawing that I am so excited about and that I so admire! And this freedom is so very normal and natural for a 4 years old, it could not be more natural than that! And I hope that maybe, just maybe, this phase will last a little bit longer then it usually does, and a little bit longer then it is normal! Cause it is so beautiful!

Najviše me fascinira fluentnost sa kojom V crta. On UVEK  može da crta i UVEK zna šta da crta. Uzme prazan papir i flomaster i crteži i linije prosto cure iz flomastera kao da prosipa vodu. Ne postoji "A šta sada da crtam?" momenat koji je tako karakterističan za malo stariju decu nego što je on. Njegovo crtanje nekada može da traje satima i deluje kao da se nikada ne umori, kao da mu nikada ne dosadi, kao da nikada nije nezadovaoljan, kao da se nikada ne razočara, demotiviše, isfustrira... i sve ostalo što je tako uobičajeno za crtanje u svetu malo starije dece i odraslih. Nije mu potrebno ohrabrenje niti motivacija spolja niti pohvala da bi crtao. On jednostavno voli da crta i to i radi. Bez bilo kakvog uticaja ili mešanja s moje strane.

A ja? Ja uživam u tome na skoro iracionalan način. Ta nesputana sloboda i spontanost, ljubav i potreba da se toliko crta su ono što me uzbuđuje i čemu se toliko divim! A ta sloboda je potpuno normalna i prirodna za četvorogodišnjaka, da ne može biti prirodnija. I nadam se da će možda ta faza potrajati malo duže nego što je uobičajeno i normalno, i da ću, možda, malo duže imati prilike da  uživam u toj čaroliji dečjeg crtanja! Jer je uživanje gledati ga kako toliko uživa!
