[quote=Anonymous]My 4 year old seems to have fun taking virtual group drawing/painting classes. He can’t draw, at most he can draw a stick man, shapes & a sun. I have not drawn/painted for years, and I almost forget that I can teach him till a friend brings this up. My career is not art related, but I can draw comic stripes, portrait, landscape etc. I have a bunch of art supplies at home.

He has his ego & prides, and he is aware that he can’t draw/color well. Is it good or bad idea if I pick up the job to show him how to draw from flower, tree, a dog with simple lines? Or should I keep paying weekly online classes for him to have some fun? We have been struggling at home with me telework while he is bored at home without daycare. If I decide to be one, how/what should I start & how often should I do with him? One important question, will it cause more damages or benefits for me to teach drawing/painting at early ages? Would that kill his creativity & imagination? I know him best, I know that he has a tendency to copy the way I draw/paint.
