Mana-mana rumah yang ada budak mesti ada la sikit-sikit lukisan mural kat dinding kan. Ada yang tak ada kan. But in our house, ada.
We have this Hafiy-casso yang dah menunjukkan ciri-ciri sukakan pen since he learned to grab objects. Before he knew how to scratch, dia lebih dulu mengkaji pen-pen tersebut dengan membuka semua sekali sampai last-last tak boleh pakai dah (for pens with springs inside). So, we don’t have many pens in the house. And pens yang ada pun kena sorok jauh-jauh/tinggi-tinggi.
When he started to walk, then he started to draw murals in our bedroom. That time he was using pencil. His granny actually larang dia pegang pencil for the reason that he might injure himself. Kot jatuh, terkena mata, etc. But instead I bought him a box of pencils so that he could draw and draw. Hihihi (pssttt.. don’t tell my MIL).
I bought him crayon as well. Instead of doing coloring, he ate the crayon. But I think it’s not a big deal sebab dia bukannya telan. As soon as I discover dia dah masuk mulut, terus keluarkanlah. Afterall, I bought the non-toxic one.
Tips for crayoning activity- stop as soon as dia dah start masuk mulut.
Now he found a new-more exciting, marker! He started with highlighter, diam-diam habis 1 sqft tile kat rumah dia highlight-kan. Now dinding rumah dah agak bermural.
I prepare a space in our house for Hafiy to do wall-painting. It is quite important to discipline him so that he won’t menodai our other wall (terbabas juga, biasalah..). Walaupun rumah bersepah tapi dinding kena bersih!
I like to encourage if he wants to do anything by putting some limitation. Macam lukis dinding, can.. but not in the other wall (Sori ye saya memang suka seni grafiti). Next time he’d understand that there’s a limit if nak buat apa-apa. Tapi kecik lagi memang tak nampak. That’s why the process kena berterusan. Arap-arap Hafiy tau lar ada limit if nak buat ape2 jangan main redah saje.
antara usaha menjadikan adik sebagai objek seni. mujo highlighter dah kering kaler.
Tak hairan sebenarnya kalau Hafiy suka melukis dan membuat grafitti, sebab Mommynye pun sama! Kalau balik rumah lama kat kampung tu penuh satu bilik dengan lukisan-lukisan, siap ada cerita lagi… Macam lukisan kat dinding gua zaman purba pun ada. Bukan dinding je, almari, meja, katil, kerusi… segala objek kat dalam bilik tidur tu memang prasejarah betul lah.
Tak apelah kalau semua pakat suka melukis nanti-nanti kita lukis mural kat rumah, buat macam tadika. Mana tahu kot ada yang jadi kartografer ke sorang.
By the way, I love art.
I could experience art like nobody business.
