Primary reference from the 5-yr-old I stay with during Summer. This is a portrait he did for me. Every time I look at him doing it, he always says what he thinks in his mind and draw it out the same time he sketches. He impressed me as how creative the kids can be compare to some grown-ups.Minray kept saying that his style is better than the other style so he ask me to do a portrait of him with his style. By applying his style, I find that kids rather using separated structure (e.g. squares and circles) than making a holistic drawing. With my researches of the master Minray, I made a paper puppet. The reason I made it is that I want to extend the graphic work on to 3D format as exploring the media. Also, the kids creativity reminds me of looking into their inspiration – Toys. The colour are all primary colour on the cloud spectrum to represent the pureness of the children.
