 Tell a Story by Drawing (Visual  Composition)

How can kids tell a story beautiful to the eyes
of God and men, of peace and joy?

A dying tree in a wasteland

 

Two versions in pencil and pastel 
     

Model of a landscape – watershed, the source of

freshwater in lakes and rivers, home and farm.

Creating a living landscape from a wasteland

 

Children in the neighborhood interpret the theme of the exercise.

Neighborhood children at work with the author.  Concentration and 

reflection, imagination and creativity are important in composition.  

Neither they are men of letters - not yet -

     nor artists, masters on all levels;

But kids growing up fast to rise someday

     above their dreams and models.

How can kids tell a story beautiful to the eyes

     of God and men, of peace and joy,

Sans the spirit of the pen, the pain of living?

     oh yes, by drawing, a tool and toy.

Pure they are by heart and thought and soul;

     while the sun rises to its summit,

touching the trees, the sea, the landscape,

     doubtless for whosoever's sake

But their own, their future, so with mankind,

     unknowing, unquestioning, obliging

to a guiding hand strong with faith and trial,

     whose golden sun is sinking, sinking. ~
