Children's Drawings on the Wall

A wall that mixes professional artworks with children's drawings. On it, there is a valuable print, a photograph, and three or four drawings clearly made by children—crayon and watercolor, naive lines, creased paper. The key is that these children's drawings are taken seriously: they are framed in simple frames of the same specifications as the other works, hung together with the same spacing and height, rather than casually taped to the refrigerator. Therefore, the entire wall reads as a complete collection, not professional works plus a children's area. This equal treatment is a core value of this home. Avoid: taping children's drawings to the refrigerator and corners, using cartoon-shaped children's frames, clearly separating professional works and children's art, making the proportion of children's art too large.

一面混合了專業作品與孩子塗鴉的牆。上面有一幅價值不菲的版畫、一張攝影作品,以及三四張明顯是小孩畫的圖——蠟筆與水彩、線條稚拙、紙張有摺痕。關鍵是這些孩子的畫被認真對待:它們被裱在與其他作品相同規格的簡潔框裡,以同樣的間距與高度掛在一起,而不是隨便貼在冰箱上。因此整面牆讀起來是一組完整的收藏,而不是專業作品加上兒童區。這種平等的處理是這個家的價值觀。避免:把孩子的畫貼在冰箱與角落、使用卡通造型的兒童畫框、讓專業作品與童畫明顯分區、把童畫的比例做得過大。
