Every child who “doodles” is perceiving the world with his heart

When Ogawa was just 3 years old, I enrolled him in a painting class. Some friends around me said: \”What can he learn at such a young age? You are just wasting money!\” Indeed, for a long time, from a professional perspective, I really couldn\’t see Ogawa\’s talent in painting. Unique talents and amazing progress. However, I still insist on sending him to class every week. Because he is free and happy and enjoys the process of painting. Every time he went to class, Xiaochuan would go there happily and come back satisfied. At home, he often writes and draws quietly alone. Not very good at writing, he often drew a book or a letter and sent it to us. The last time I went to Xiamen, I was going out alone, and he drew a map for me. No matter how well he painted, I would never criticize him or even try to correct him. I would always listen patiently to him introducing his paintings and telling stories about them, and then I would work hard to find small improvements in any of them, and firmly praise and encourage him. he. \”The Sun Swinging in the Vineyard\” He also had a great first teacher. She knows how to care for and inspire children\’s interest in painting. In class, there is no rigid drawing of lines or shapes. Instead, the teacher leads the children to play with colors, paints, and mix-and-match under a theme. No matter how \”disobedient\” Ogawa is (his paintings are always different) or \”quibbling\” about his \”willfulness\”, she will treat him gently and affirm his \”fantastic ideas\”. Perhaps, he will never become a professional in the painting world. It doesn\’t matter. When I look at his paintings (I carefully collect every painting by Ogawa), I don\’t feel like I spent money in vain, even though it\’s really not cheap. Because in my eyes, painting is an important channel and way for him to perceive the world and express himself at a young age. Because of painting, he will observe his surroundings more keenly and carefully, discovering the freshness of the world and the beauty of life; he will more actively mobilize all his wisdom and imagination to conceive and create; he will also take the initiative to use a Use vivid pictures to express your love for family, friends and life. I can clearly see his growth and progress in his paintings. In his paintings, he is full of imagination and imagination. \”Big Rooster on the Grass\” For example, \”Big Rooster on the Grass\” was drawn by a classmate on the left following the teacher, and by Ogawa on the right. He said that the big rooster was originally on the grass, but then got lost and walked to the desert. He accidentally stepped on a bomb and was blown up into a colorful rooster. I always remember the wrinkles in the corners of my eyes when my teacher told me Ogawa\’s story. \”Skating Robot\” such as \”Skating Robot\”. Ogawa insisted on drawing only one tooth for the robot. Because this is a grandma robot. She is too old and only one tooth is missing. He reflects the world in his eyes in his paintings, which is a delicate discovery. \”Little Sheep Eating Grass\” such as \”Little Sheep Eating Grass\”. Finally, Ogawa took out his black pen and continued to write and draw. The teacher was puzzled and asked him: \”What are these black spots?\” Xiaochuan felt incredible about the teacher\’s question: \”Of course it\’s the sheep\’s stinky smell! Before, when I went to play in the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, I saw sheep everywhere on the grasslands. Stinky.\” \”Cactus in the Desert\” such as \”Cactus in the Desert\”. He would add the rattlesnake himself (bottom of picture). He knew from the encyclopedia that there are rattlesnakes in the desert; he also knew that the tail of a rattlesnake is very special, it is a series of rings. His expressive expressions in the paintings make him considerate and warm-hearted. \”Father\’s Day – Dad\” A portrait that Ogawa gave to his father on Father\’s Day (painted earlier). He remembered his father\’s black-rimmed glasses and his father\’s preference for wearing blue shirts, but he hoped that his father would have colorful hair in the future. PS: I was given a painting on Mother’s Day. I firmly refused to admit that it was me. It was obviously a monster. He said it was because he liked monsters the most. What is the logic? ! ???\”Mr. Strange\” Ogawa loves \”Mr. Strange, Miss Miao\” madly. One day, he completely drew his own impressions and drew Mr. Strong, Mr. Small, Mr. Mess and Mr. Nobody, and he completely captured the essence of the characters\’ characteristics. How is the effort, time and money we spend raising our children worth it? Sometimes, we really need to look beyond the surface to see the inside, and we need to give it a longer waiting period. Its positive impact on children may not be so short-lived and obvious, and may take a long time to appear, but it will have long-term and far-reaching effects. For example, through painting, Ogawa is learning to perceive the world more keenly, in which he can imagine and express himself without restraint. These growth and gains are priceless treasures that will benefit him throughout his life.
