Nina's Art Work

[fluffsnuff]

The snowmen are laughing at the ogre underpants...lol

[CameronsLuv]

The cat was awesome for Nina's age! :D

[chuchuwalulu]

wow, Nina's so creative! You and your wife are great parents to raise a kid like Nina. Love her :)

[rkLucy]

I'm really enjoying watching the videos of Nina and the happy family everytime. I'm not married yet but I wish I have my own family like yours one day. I'm looking forward to seeing the new ones soon. Take care.

[hunnymilk]

happy new year to u Geof and nina and family! may God bless you and family. it's been a while, i could not get to watch nina coz now very busy with thesis writing..huhu..miss cute nina..happy and healthy always ok!

[frangipanidaisy]

how sweet..my favourite is the pig with the long ears, but the snowmen are done so well, I can actually imagine them coming to life, walking, and laughing. Great work Nina! Keep up the good work, keep expanding your imagination.

[ToLokyo]

Nice art work. ^_^

[revorichie]

happy new year! =)

[mcs1775]

Well done, Nina! I esp. liked the pig and cat aside from the snowmen. her arts are clear I can see what she's drawn from her imagination. Keep it up!

[languageandhumor]

I like Nina's walking and laughing snowmen sculptures. They seem Hayao-Miyazaki-esque.

I wasn't going to say anything, but I had kind of noticed in the videos that include you (Geof) and your wife that all three of you have rather horizontally liney bodies. I'm glad Nina was able to capture that in her artwork.

Happy new year!

新年あけましておめでとうがざいます！本年もよろしくお願いもう­しあげますということなんですけれども。

[geofg]

In a sense, don't we ALL have horizontally liney bodies? I think that was really what Nina was trying to express.

そちらこそ、あけおめ！ことよろ！

[MrJingjong]

I gotta say the snowmen are my favorite too! Nice work, Nina!

[trishamae21]

too cute!

[heopie]

love how nina is the tallest from the three line bodies haha.

[geofg]

I hadn't noticed that.

[HelloAdindah]

I love her laughing snowmen

[geofg]

The snowmen are my favorite, too.

[geofg]

Yeah, it's a little embarrassing how much I dote on Nina, but I'm an older father, so I really don't have anything better to do with my free time. Anyway, thanks.

[caritiger]

Great Artwork Nina! You are a very good artist!

[gracesupang]

:) good job nina.

[TheJoy0919]

i love the exercise thing hahaha..and the drawing of papa with beard.. maganda! its a tagalog word it means beautiful..thanks for posting geoff, happy new year..

[geofg]

Thanks, and Happy New Year to you, too! Yeah, I was really surprised when she drew a picture of my dumb-bell. And, my rough beard. Ha ha.

[evavigo]

Those laughing snowmen are just awesome!! Again, her inner world... I wouldn't imagine these little snowmen laughing myself, i mean, maybe i would just make them, but laughing? I don't know, but I love it!!! And Just Cat... Hehehe!!!

Cheers!!

[geofg]

Ha ha. Yeah, the snowmen don't strike me as laughing either, but Nina insists that something is funny for them.

Anyway, who am I to question the artist?

Thanks!

[MekongPlease]

The snowmen are awesome.

[Graehaus]

Awesome work Nina, keep up drawing. :)

[purplesomeone]

Wow those were actually pretty good. I could tell what most of those pictures were! Merry Christmas Geof!!! Wish you and your family all the best!

[geofg]

Thanks, and a great 2010 to you!

[laracroftroxmysox]

Ha Ha! That's so cute.

She draws way better than me when I was her age. They almost held me back for my horrible drawing once. Isn't that mean?

[geofg]

Held you back for drawing? You probably just had an artistic genius that was beyond their understanding.

[HillOfHeavin]

ah I can tell.. little nina is better than me

very nice

[pavolpi]

nice.

the people in the picture at 0:30 look more like some screws than people.

[geofg]

Ha ha ha! Yeah, I don't know why she gave them screws for bodies.

[WoodGirl14]

Ah! "Papa with beard" was my fav in this gallery ^__^ I like how she can immediately tell what the theme is, even if it's so minimalistic. It made me remember when I was a little girl and I was able to see all sorts of things looking clouds or just shadows on the wall and they made perfect sense to me! Please preserve those drawings for her...she would be glad to see them, when she will be older.

[geofg]

Yeah, I like "Papa with Beard" too, even though she didn't give me any hair. Do you still have drawings you made as a girl?

[WoodGirl14]

I actually do have many drawings I made since I was 3 'cause my parents liked them (my mum says they are like real art because they portray complicated themes with just a few lines...that's what I liked about Nina's too! ^__^ )

I love to have those now that almost 30 years have gone by. Kind of archaeology, in miniature.

[geofg]

Interesting. That's great that your parents kept your art work. I sort of thought of Nina's drawings as "simple" but I like your explanation that "they portray complicated themes with just a few lines." Thanks!

[porshyflo]

Haha. Good job there! Ok, as a preschool educator, one thing to look out for is Nina's progressive drawings. keep them up and you'll be surprised to realize that she can really draw much better in time to come with more details. for eg, the human have no hands and legs for now, they will appear soon. haha. kids work amazingly. keep the art pieces for future reference. you'll be surprised. ^^

[geofg]

Thanks for that input! It is interesting how universal the stages in drawing/language development/conceptual understanding etc. seem to be. OK, we'll keep her pictures so we can see the progression, as you recommend.

[AzNxRawRx]

Aww, that was really cute <3

Her cat is better than my cat drawing XD

[geofg]

Ha ha. Yeah, my cats look like rats.

[lukygirl314]

lol.... I was going to do the exact same type of video with Krystal's art work too but I never got around to it. Nice

[geofg]

Why don't you make a video of Krystal's art, still? It's not too late, is it? If you do make one, I definitely recommend having Krystal explain what the different pieces represent.

[Doggiechann]

the laughing snowmen looks mad xD;

[geofg]

Yeah, I thought so, too, but Nina insists they are laughing.

[revorichie]

Great work Nina! =)

[felicemichelle]

aww she's so cute !

[AjikanPanda]

The next Picasso ;D

[seiyaodango]

OMG! So cute :D I love how a lot of it is food. Nina is quite the artist I loved her little walking snowmen at the end. She so creative and precious. The artistic side must run in the family.

[geofg]

Nina's drawings, songs, conversation topics often revolve around food.  Food is very big in Nina's life!

Anyway, thank you!

[s0d0]

I'm laughing because Nina is funny. Does that make me a snowman?

[akuanakmetal]

hi, i always update about nina's video.. she's really cute.. (cuter than my cousin, honestly.. hahaha) merry x'mas to nina n fam!! btw, maybe nina want to be an artist.. :))

greetings from indonesia.. :)

xoxo..

[geofg]

Thank you! Right now, Nina seems interested in many things, including drawing pictures. I wonder what she will be interested in when she gets older.

[ailee2003]

Hello. This is Amber's father. my daughter is asleep right now, because I'm leaving you a comment. Your drawings are like Amber's when she was younger. They are very cute and good. She got a drawing book for Christmas to study. It's called funny faces. Keep at it and you will get better. Thank you.

[geofg]

So, what kind of things does Amber like to draw now? Maybe we will try to find that "funny faces" book, too.

[yumyumsesame]

Wow, that cat is really good!! :D

[6663000]

haha, very nice.

I would buy it :P

[usaverageguy]

Great art must run in the family.

[animebellatrix]

adorable

[mejikuhibiniu12]

nina has a great imagination, do you think she's interest on drawing? what a cute snowmen. what was it made of? hug for nina.. :)

[geofg]

Those snowmen were made from this stuff kind of like play-dough.

[Luciditi]

She is such a smart and creative little girl! She's going do something great when she grows up I just know it! Whether she is an artist or a doctor or something else she's going to be great at it.

[geofg]

Yeah, I'm really curious what she'll end up doing. She often says she wants to help people, so maybe she'll be a social worker or an ambassador?

[BreazyNova]

her english is sounding pretty good

[coushcrew]

hehe unlike my old drawings, I can actually tell what each drawing is :3

[geofg]

Ha ha. Well, I did try to choose some of Nina's more recognizable pieces.

[qchome]

my grade for this art project:A+

[geofg]

Well, that certainly makes this Papa feel proud.

[AndreR241]

Wow, this looks really funny. Have a great day, Nina!

[hoeytje]

[xXxGothicKittenxXx]

The pig picture is very impressive! ^-^ I love the little snowmen!

[geofg]

The snowmen are my favorite, too.
