Drawing cartoon animal is probably one of the best way to connect to children. Once you demonstrated the technique and convinced them how easy it is to use their IMAGINATION to jazz up their animal, it is like firing a rocket into the sky and there is no stopping them. However children have the tendency to use black (oil pastel) to outline or colour the eyes at the drawing stage and may regret later when they 'dirtied' the other light colours. This is where briefing them with clear instruction (Do's and Don'ts) before they start drawing becomes important. The art pieces here are drawn with light colours (yellow, orange or green) and the reasons behind it: they can correct their work if they draw wrongly by drawing/colouring over it with darker colours. The above art piece (purple cat) shows what happen when they use black to outline.
