Son's Attempt At Computer Graphic

I guess it's in the blood but in my case, I stopped pursuing my interest in art very early in my life.

But things were different then. During the time I was growing up, the society around me did not consider art as part of what can be considered as "education".

Things were simple then

The approach to learning was simple -- read textbooks, pay attention in class, finish homeworks and read more textbooks and score high marks.

So I gave up my interest in anything related to drawing and tried to read books and learn whatever there was that could be learned.

History repeating itself

But it looks like history is repeating itself all over again. My 14-year-old son is very keen in arts, especially line illustrations.

Enough of all those creatures

However, instead of giving him encouragement, I've been telling him to stop wasting time drawing all the strange creatures and concentrate on his studies instead.

Then I realised this should not be the way. The least I could do was to prevent from discouraging him from developing his talents.

So I told him, if you really want to pursue this interest of yours, then do it properly and seriously and hold on to it till the end while at the same time try also to excel in his studies.

I guess history is meant to be repeated to give us the opportunity to do it differently the next time around.
