BOOK 2

FOX AND I - Sanjeev

Sanjeev is a bright kid and he is very vocal about his thoughts.. his enthusiasm and energy is endless.  His thought process is clear and he actually puts a pattern to his story.   When we discussed what would be the story line, he asked for a paper and pencil,  he drew 5 circles and wrote down 5 emotions in each of them and showed it to me and said i want to include all this in my story.  I looked at him and wondered if this guy was in the making of a script writer ???.. his stories also change and he wants to come up with a better story or different story each time he sits down to portray that pic on paper..so Sanjeev has taken a break for two days now....one because today is his mothers birthday and another because we might just come up with another story all together... after all this project was all about the flow in the kids and what they wanted to come up with... !!!!!

DAY 4 &5 - Sanjeev finished two pics on the same day... or else he might be left behind to finish the cover pic is what i think made him complete them.  He quickly used his color pencils and choose not to use water colors this time.  What i liked about his choice was that he saw to himself that his pics were looking very dark and came up on his own that water colors make pic dark and color pencils make the pic light.  I let him choose it.  Only after he had finished i showed him some of my pics that i had painted were nice and light , he wondered in his little mind...made no comment .. his mind wandered to the girls deciding the cover pic of their book.... but i know that little mind made that note...love the work i m doing!!!!    

DAY 6 - Sanjeev had his final pic in place today .. for him his story was longer than this and had many more characters.  But the theme was to have totally 2 or 3 characters in all.  So had to slow Sanjeev down as much as i did not want to.  Which is obvious reason why he had to change the name of his story from 'whats going on' to 'Fox and I'... i love how these little minds are bursting with new IDEAS!!

DAY 7 -  i can see Sanjeev has moved from one level to another in every single page he created!!!  you can see it in his cover page.
