Lion and Two Swans

During our creative session, I showed Sisters Evija (8 years old) and Adele (5 years old) a popular game with paint and thread: soak a piece of wool thread in paint, place it on paper, then fold the paper like a book and pull out the thread while squeezing the sheets together. From such relatively accidental marks, we guess what the drawings are reminiscent of. I got a green lion.

My work - "Green Lion"

Evija said that for her it turned out to be two blue mountains with a river in between them. Adele saw in her drawing two dead swans and two little people on the red sand.

Evija - “Red River Between Two Blue Mountains”
Adele - "Two Dead Swans and Two Little People on the Red Sand"

The girls came up with a tale that Evija was riding a green lion up the mountain or across the bridge between the two mountains, while Adele with Gabrielis were two little people who saw two dead swans on the sand.
