The Work of My 6 Year Old Brother

I don't have much in my life that I'm very sure about or that I decide I want to pursue. The one thing I do know I want to accomplish is being some type of artist. Every creation I make, whether it was on purpose or pure luck, I believe makes me stand out not only as a person but an artist. Art allows you to express yourself in so many ways whether its through paint, clay or your body. In my brothers case, it was through makeup. Watching him paint each stroke on my face, how concentrated and particular he was made me feel like I was giving him that opportunity to express himself. I gave him dark, medium and light shades of purple and blue eye shadows and different color lip sticks. He started off only using the light shades and no lip stick. I interpreted that as he was unsure and not confident in what he was trying to create. After covering my face with what seemed to be invisible makeup, he started using the darker shades and the red lipstick and just went to town. By the end of the make up session I turned out looking like a painted canvas and my brother was a very satisfied artist.
