Samantha Van Stralendorff, Colour Collaboration: Make Art, not Models. (People and Portrait 2017)

To create art with child has to be win-win. I have to offer choice to get a model, and to be happy with the outcome, offer choices I'll be happy with no matter what, so for me, colour is the secret. Some children are able to sit with zen stillness, while others have to rush to the mirror and back in between brush strokes, plus emit all the emotions of the rainbow. Also, over time, there have been mini-model wars, so the treaty has become >face, photo, play<.
