Squig the Dog - The Easy Cartoon for Kids to Draw Stephen Crowhurst

SQUIG THE DOG is a fun and easy to draw cartoon. With simple scribbling SQUIG THE DOG comes alive. The author introduces the scribbling technique then provides examples of a scribbled SQUIG that children, encouraged by an adult, can scribble on the opposite page to the example. The language of the book fosters a 'you can do it' language of support. When we scribble, right brain activity is activated. By adding cartoon elements to a scribble, SQUIG the DOG comes to life! It's a great way to encourage children to draw and to understand whatever they scribble, is art. A child's development of their artistic talent, with family encouragement in an atmosphere of fun, is the most important outcome. What they scribble is truly one-of-a-kind artwork. Although SQUIG the DOG is developed with children in mind, the concept is relevant to adults too - including parents, educators, and seniors. Typically, scribbles can never be repeated one hundred percent, therefore a child's scribble is unique each and every time. With this sketchbook design, the child's work is preserved for generations to come. It will serve as a record of their artistic experiences. A keepsake for later. As you guide your child through this book, let them know what they scribble is wonderful, and unique. Let them find their own way artistically and be sure to fuel their creativity with supportive words and don't be afraid to try it yourself!
