Draw a Picture of Your own

The tools an artist uses are important because each tool makes a different kind of picture. More important still is the person who draws the picture.
If you and the boy next door and the girl across the street each drew a picture of the same house, each picture would be just a little different from other pictures. If your little brother or sister drew that same house, we would still another kind of picture of that house. For each of us sees things just a little differently. The pictures we draw show this.
Probably, however, you would not at all want to draw the same house.
What an artist chooses to draw also tells something about him.
What kind of pictures do you like to draw? Do you like to draw real things or pretend things? Do you like to draw pictures of things you know or pictures of things you would like to see and know?
If you live near ocean, do you like to draw a picture like the one of the fishermen and their boat? Would you rather draw a picture of mountains or the sandy desert?
