The first art was probably somebody doodling in the dirt with a stick. The second had to be someone using ashes on that same stick...and thus the first charcoal drawing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteThe examples you've presented today, Tabatha, are excellent ones. I love Theseus and the Minotaur (can't help but think of Maurice Sendak), Biker Girl H16 (such realism!), and Muscle Man (really got my attention!).
