Have you ever wondered why various kinds of animals are the inspiration for almost all story books, children's paintings, animated cartoons and even children's films?

This comes because the animal world is the world closest to children. In addition, if we look at the stage of children's growth and development, that in early childhood they have an attachment to the environment, imagination to objects and events in the surrounding environment, and believe that everything around them has a soul like itself (Setiyaningrum, 2017). Therefore, the animal world is often found in children's story books, children's paintings, animated cartoons and even children's films. Indirectly, the animal world becomes the image and visualization of children.

Hello,

My name is Shakira Nur Kamila.

I am 8 years old and an elementary school student in Bandung. Interest in the world of art, as well as talent for painting, made me dream of becoming an artist when I grow up. Therefore, in my spare time, I always take the time to hone my painting talent by creating various kinds of paintings. The media that I have mastered so far are colored pencils, crayons, and markers. But now, I've tried several times to paint using watercolors. To realize my dream, I also often participate in many competitions and I am grateful to be able to win these competitions. This success cannot be separated from the support and prayers given by my family and friends, especially my aunt, Erien Septiani as my main support.

Now, I am grateful to be trusted to be a child artist on this great project. I hope my work becomes one of your favorite works and can be a blessing to many people. Always look forward to my next work!

Hello,

My name is Erien Septiani.

I am a final student from Telkom University majoring in textile crafts and fashion. I have more interest in fashion, especially surface textiles, fashion illustrations, fashion photography and all kinds of culture, especially Indonesian culture. Of course, I hope become an Indonesian fashion designer with characteristics.

In addition, I also like doing activities with children such as playing, creating works, and others. The world of children's fun, full of imagination, and endless creativity, inspires me to work together to create fashion works with them. The opportunity came by creating kidswear products with the process of working on motifs with children.

Hopefully, with the presence of TALENTA, it will not only be able to present kidswear products with character but can also be an appreciation for Indonesian children's paintings.
