What My Niece Saw On Pinterest VS What She Did

^{the Pinterest work is the one on the left}

Yesterday, I was introduced to an app by my elder sister which I installed from Play Store. It does the same job as Corel Draw. Main reason I was interested in the app is because it not only has the Corel draw tools but also has the similar tools as Canva and I guess even better if one is able to navigate through it properly.

It was thrilling to have the app as I really needed something like it, especially for the fact that Canva didn't work well on my phone. Plus, I wasn't ready for their subscription. While conversing with my sister on how to use the app, my ten year old niece was with my phone watching DIY videos on Pinterest. She suddenly interrupted my conversation with her mother by showing me the video of a lady painting a cat.

"May I try replicating it with the new app you got?" "You sure you can?" I asked and she shrugged, "I just want to try."

^{[we tried looking at it from another angle]}

As an adult who's interested in seeing children get creative, I nodded positively. Note: she's been watching her mom use the app but never got the privilege to try anything. My sister doesn't let her kids meddle with her phone cause one time they dipped it in water.

After my discourse with my sister, I went to check on my niece to see how far she's gone with replicating what she saw on Pinterest. To my surprise, she had gotten a knack for it. My niece is a natural and needed to handle brushes or a phone more often.

^{her first}

I liked how she took screenshots of her work process. It was the cutest thing watching her try to replicate what she saw on Pinterest. Her seriousness and enthusiasm planted the thought of getting her a board and paint brushes in my head. When she's older, I intend to surprise her with a phone as my sister wouldn't appreciate that I do that now.

^{almost done}

She's an African mother and is big on letting her kids grow up without having anything to distract them from that innocence that comes with childhood. Inasmuch as there's something like parental guidance on devices, children of this age know where to turn it off and go do whatever they please.

^{her final work}

Anyway, I was so proud of my niece. She asked me to rate her work which I did. "You're the best of your kind," I said and pulled her in for a big hug. I did not criticize the work because it's her first, but I made sure to let her know the eyes of her cat were pretty frightening. She giggled and pleaded that I shared her work here so that when she grows older, she can look back on her debut in art. The Blockchain has helped me save lots of memories that are no longer on my device and I'm putting this one here again for future references.

Thanks for reading this far.
