Growing up too fast  

Posted by Feral Beast in ,

Hello all.mrgreen

It's me again, and I think I have a bit of Picasso in me at the moment.surprised

You know how kids as young as 5 are knowing about things that they would know if they were 11 or up, and how people are saying that they're growing up way too fast?
Now, I know all about this, I've seen kids at my old school as young as 5 and 6 always say rude things and being racist.eek

So, I've done a sketch of a young boy that has grown up in spite of being 4 years old, and here it is:

The faceless shapes are all of his old friends, and the hand up in the corner is God making him grow up.

That's not growing up. That's growing down.

Great artwork by the way. God's been chewing his fingernails again I see.

It is a great piece of artwork. I really think it is clever how you have drawn his friends as outlines. It is a clever use of contrast.

There are lots of symbols in your drawing too. Heaps of meaning. It is great. :)

I don't like rascists. But I like God!
