Trying to work out if it is good or not. Does this look like a child that has artistic potential and how old would you expect the child that drew that to be?

Why does it matter?

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 29/06/2023 21:29

I don’t think that people trying to guess the age of the artist is a good way to decide if it’s good or not.

It is good - it’s captured what they want to portray about Queen Victoria I think - her attitude to live

EhrlicheFrau · 29/06/2023 21:29

I don't really thing guessing the age matters, because all children develop at different rates - the most important thing is to encourage (though not overdo it), give them access to materials etc and expose them to art in everyday ways.

10 or 11, it's lovely

DameEdna1 · 29/06/2023 21:37

Some of the guesses are hilarious, as if a 5-6 year old could have produced this 😆 my nearly 5yo DS can only manage amoeba people and strange, blob-like shapes that are apparently meant to be moles (the animal.) I've taught one seven year old who could have managed it but she was exceptional, I'm guessing 8+. I don't think it matters anyway- it's a lovely picture and hopefully it gave them enjoyment to create it.

No idea about the artist’s age but I love it!

Do you think 4 year old do shading like done in the background?

Yr 4/5 is 8-10 years old.

SnuggleBuggleBoo · 29/06/2023 21:44

My money's on 9. I think it's good because it's quirky and captivating - you want to look twice or three times. It's not to my personal taste but if the artist is happy then that's surely the only thing that matters?

Desperatenow1 · 29/06/2023 21:45

I wonder how many guesses one person needs.....

MintyAraminta · 29/06/2023 21:45

I think this thread is really challenging for the mumsnet demographic Grin

PutinSmellsPassItOn · 29/06/2023 21:46

Well I'm 43 and couldn't manage that......so my guess is 44 🤣🤣🤣

I think yr 4/5 IME

Please read my post correctly-it says year 4/5 not 4/5 years! Year 4/5 is age 9/10 years old. If you want to be snarky about a post it’s best to read it properly first. <<clearly snarked back at ya here>>

LivesOnPigeonStreet · 29/06/2023 21:49

I think it would be polite to come back and say what age after 14 pages of guesses.

Totallyconfusedperson · 29/06/2023 21:50

I’m 35 and I don’t think I can draw as well! Well done to your child! I really like the pic

SallyWD · 29/06/2023 21:52

Please put us out of our misery.

Ohhelpicantthinkofaname · 29/06/2023 21:54

Anything from about age 7-12 depending on how good they are at art.

I could have drawn that at about 7 or 8 (I could draw well as a child, I can copy well as an adult but I’m not very creative). My brother still couldn’t draw it at 39.

I like it. It’s quirky.

Justme1234567 · 29/06/2023 22:00

Is OP really letting this drag on for hours 🙄

RestingMurderousFace · 29/06/2023 22:01

12 year old. It’s good.

TiredCatLady · 29/06/2023 22:04

I’m going to go against the grain and say a fully 30 something adult.

SequinsandStilettos · 29/06/2023 22:06

9

Dovetail40 · 29/06/2023 22:08

52 yr old

Potential to be next banksy

SliceOfCakeCupOfTea · 29/06/2023 16:18

My 6 year old still draws stick figures (or sausage figure as we call them) so I would say 9?

So does the 33yo me.

  1. Come on, OP, put us out of our misery!!
