I'm going to start encouraging my daughter's artistic abilities


I found out recently that my 7 year old daughter is an awesome artist! Her drawings are as good as photographs, I swear! I want to encourage her to nurture this ability so maybe she'll get a scholarship to an art school, because I can't pay for her college while I'm between jobs. But anyway, I want to push her to do well in art, but at the same time I want to discourage her from continuing to draw the kind of things she does. All she seems to ever want to draw are pictures of herself and her 17 year old brother naked, and hitting and touching her. No one will ever want to buy this kind of disgusting artwork, especially if she doesn't learn to draw penises better. I really want to push her away from this kind of subject matter altogether and make her draw stuff people like, like fruit and boats.
