As a child, each of us considered himself an artist, painting albums, notebooks and even the fields of newspapers and books with all kinds of scribbles. The scribbles were proudly called pictures, and the most successful of them, in which it was possible to make out individual figures of men, cars, animals or plants, were carefully hidden by the parents in a separate folder, the "portfolio" of the future Rembrandt. As adults and not choosing the profession of an artist, we rarely remember what we drew in childhood, and if we do, then to laugh with our parents or children, going over old scribbles. But those who not only did not leave drawing, but also achieved outstanding success and fame in this field, would be curious to revise their children's drawings. And not easy to revisit: the American gallery Subtext Gallery in San Diego invited some famous artists to redraw their children's drawings, rethinking the images invented in childhood. The exposition is called Homeroom, and is supervised by an invited specialist Christina Conwaywho contacted artists such as Allison Sommers, Audrey Kawasaki, Harmony Gong, Katherine Brannock, Leung Ka-Yin, Soey Milk, Tran Nguyen, Yoskay Yamamoto and many other contemporary artists working in a wide variety of techniques and styles. Each artist from the list chose one of his children's works, and carried out "work on mistakes", drawing all the same, but not as an unintelligent kid with a felt-tip pen in unsteady fingers, but as an accomplished professional artist, author of personal exhibitions and participant in creative projects …
I think that not only the visitors to the Homeroom exhibition were curious to look at how contemporary artists began their careers, but also the masters themselves. This sweet nostalgia revives in memory a lot of emotions and memories of those years, but also once again makes it clear that childhood with these naive scribbles is far behind. Together with the authors, their drawings have matured as well, as professionalism and maturity come with age.
The exposition of matured children's drawings by contemporary Homeroom artists will be on display at the Subtext Gallery until December 11, 2001.

And the fifth? Seventh? Seventeenth? Here are the people without whom the history of mankind would have been different, all of them are far from being the first to be born to their parents, who still managed to raise geniuses
