Art 101; Or at 10 Years Old...

The treasure trove of "stuff" or "junk" or "things that should have been tossed out years ago" certainly bring back "repressed" memories, this time of a childhood in the 1960's and early 1970's. Truthfully, I cannot believe I still have "ownership" of these things, but happy to share since I can. 

For those that know me well, probably can figure out right quick that my favorite color of all time, fuschia, or dark pink, has always been my favorite color. My first photo is a coloring of a map, and at the top the teacher inscribed this: "Coloring uneven and to (sic) dark!"  A-

I loved that dark pink and wouldn't change a thing 50 years later...

The second two photos are of houses I drew (aged 10...maybe due to the handwriting on back, and folks called me "Tessy" for a short spell?) that I used either a black crayon, or charcoal...maybe a real piece of it since my mom did not supply us authentic art supplies. It has to be a black crayon or pencil, honestly. I thought they were pretty good to share, and have no idea where these homes were except for the backs that say: "The Holda Home" and "The Spouden Home (back not shown)." They are most likely from my neighborhood, but can't remember these names for anything.

BSoleille!
