Day 66: Art Interpretation

As most households with boys (and girls) under the age of 18 know, Minecraft is a pretty big deal in the kid video game world. So big there's a whole line of merchandise to go with it: shirts, hats, toys, books. For Calen's Minecraft birthday party, he received a Minecraft handbook, a sort of guide to the monsters, weapons, minerals etc etc in the game. This is right up Calen's alley since he is obsessed with reading anything non-fiction, and has poured over this book for a solid month now. 

This morning I came downstairs to him happily sitting at the dining table with a pencil and crayons in hand and his handbook held open to the monsters page, drawing "lifelike models" of the monsters in the game. 

"This is my guide of monsters so if you see them in the game then you know what they are." Because I play as often as NEVER with him. But at least I'll know what they'll look like, just in case they ring the doorbell. He ran out of time to label them before he left for school, he said. 

I like how he tried to make them "3D". And really, for a 7 year old lefthanded boy, he's not a bad artist.
