Real-Life Case Study: How Emily Found Her Artistic Spark by Drawing Rabbits

Emily is 8 years old and loves all pets, but has difficulties approximating the required degree of confidence during the art class, especially with bunnies, because though she enjoyed bunnies so much, she is unable to make any representation of the cute creatures on the paper. One day her teacher presented such a wonderful technique for drawing bunnies, only using an oval and a few straight lines to keep it simple.

For her artwork, Emily decided to go for the Garden Rabbit theme. In the artwork that she painted, she included vibrant orange carrots, flowers, and a nice blue sky. She then went on to draw her fluffy companion with crayons using soft pink and grey. Her family and friends found it incredibly easy to relate to her, and were left in awe by her keen use of imagination. This good impression helped in enhancing Emily’s self-esteem and decreased her inhibition around creating other animals and scenes in nature as well. The rabbit she drew marked a great point in her journey towards exploration and creativity.
