Before the this project really got started I had to think about a concept and I already knew I wanted to do a project involving children and development. So I got my little cousins to work, I gave them some paper each and as many materials as they wanted and set them lose. It was very messy, but also very educational, I learned that the really small ones (ages around 2-4) simply covered the paper in paint, whereas an older child of maybe 7/8 only covered the paper in things they liked.
Also, I found that the younger ones didn't want to stop because it was probably something they hadn't done before and because it was messy. But the older ones did two drawings and then got a better offer (sweets mainly). When I asked to clean up only the smaller ones wanted to help the others "didn't want to get messy again" (Said the 7 year old).
I managed to get a bunch of work from them and I really enjoyed the experience:
