I rolled out the paper John's co-worker gave us because I was going crazy. The apartment seems smaller the more I pack because of the background of bedlam. A few minutes after I left them quietly drawing, I returned to find their clothes in a small heap. Apparently, they were getting in the way of Art. (See the bearded sun below Millie's elbow? Yep, that's what it is.)

Hey, I remember doing that! One of Dad's co-workers gave us big rolls of paper that were then rolled out and drawn upon. It being a family of mostly boys, it was particularly useful for drawing monsters in their proper proportion---"Here's the teeny tiny little guy, and HERE'S the monster!" (If it truly was drawn to scale, the monster was about 13 gazillion feet tall, although I never did the exact math to figure it out.) Shortly thereafter, it is followed by drawings of the desctruction the monster was creating, followed by the drawing of the millitary equipment needed to get rid of the said destroying monster.
Actually, I don't have much memory of actually drawing, myself. Mostly I watched in fascination. I've never been much of an artist, I'm afraid.
Yes, sir. Big rolls of paper are great fun.
Millie drew the bearded sun, a flower, and an elephant. No giant monsters! (Perhaps I should give her a tip that they're lots of fun to draw...)
With paper like that, she needs to learn the art of tracing EACH OTHER!!!
It is also best to make the proper noises when drawing. If it is machinery, one must make machine noises. If it is warfare, one must make all the gun noises, explosions, etc.
if it is an elephant, snorting peanuts with triumphant trumpeting is in order.
