I got my inspiration for this photo while I was babysitting my little brother and sister. They were drawing on a piece of paper and explaining to me what the drawings were. While I only saw a bunch of blobs and curvy lines, they explained to me that they saw dragons, castles, and princesses. This opened my eyes to the amount of creativity that kids have compared to teenagers and adults. This experience also made me realize that it's pretty hard for them to communicate all of their ideas to us, since they don't have the same communication and motor skills we do.

For my picture, I decided to use the character drawing with chalk in a driveway instead of on a paper because it gave my more of a background to work with. I just told him to draw whatever he wanted so I could get his natural body language, so it didn't look posed. After that, I drew an image with lots of different subjects and topics in order to depict the endless possibilities that could be going through his head while he was drawing. This also portrays the potential of what he could be when he grows older. I scanned the drawing in and photoshopped it onto the picture so it looked as if it was his own thought bubble. This creates the imaginative and creative mood of the picture.
