There are so many benefits to painting! How to stimulate the painting talent that every child has

I took a look at \”Running Brothers\” a few days ago. There was a link in it where you drew and I guessed to test your drawing skills. Everyone\’s drawing skills were so amazing that I literally laughed in vibrating mode. Well, the \”Harry Potter\” painted by Li Chen looks like this, and the \”Mermaid\” painted by Tang Yixin looks like this, and the \”Fan Bingbing\” painted by Deng Chao looks like this (please note that the one in the lower right corner of the painting is a big black cow…) I have to sigh, As a technique, painting requires training to improve its level. Of course, there are benefits to painting. Many parents may say that these celebrities are fine if they don’t know how to draw. If they don’t plan to let their children become painters, is it necessary to learn to draw? To be honest, it is necessary. Why do you say that? Because painting is an innate hobby for every child. For a long time, especially when children cannot express themselves with words, painting is their self-expression. This is often overlooked by many of us. 01. Children express emotions through painting. For example, children express emotions through shapes. Psychologists once found that children express different emotions by changing the appearance of their lips. For example, a line that curves upward is often used to express happiness, and when expressing sadness, the line of the mouth will curve downward. Children also use eyebrows to describe their moods, such as using semicircles to express happiness and diagonal eyebrows to express anger. The most common way to express sadness is with tears. I carefully observed Liuliu\’s paintings, and when chatting with her, I found that many of the paintings did have expressive meanings. When children are relatively young, their language expression skills are poor and they cannot express what they see, hear, and think in precise words. But he conveys information through drawing. 02. Drawing is a manifestation of children’s memory. A large number of research results have shown that children who like drawing can provide more information when expressing what they see. There is clear feedback on the amount of information presented about objects and events, especially the amount of information describing objects; when retelling the occurrence process of an event. 03. Painting is the improvement of children\’s observation ability and imagination. Whether it is a child or an adult, the human brain\’s imagination of unperceived things does not come out of thin air. It is formed by extracting relevant content from things that have been perceived and processing them. of. For example, water is blue and grass is green, but children sometimes use colors contrary to convention, such as painting the grass orange. Children will express what they imagine through their own preferences. There is nothing wrong with this, please do not interfere roughly. Because Liuliu loved the color blue the most, she drew the little blue chicken in her imagination. 04. Drawing will improve children’s IQ. Many scientists have found in children’s intelligence tests that children who have received long-term systematic drawing training since early childhood have higher visual memory, understanding and spatial combination abilities than children with the same verbal IQ. Let’s not talk about the benefits of these deep influences in childhood. Mastering some painting skills, even if you don’t use them at ordinary times, showing off your skills when it’s time to show them off will bring a lot of joy. For example, Liu Liu\’s father studied art. When he was playing with Liu Liu, he would kill me instantly with a few strokes. You could feel it from Liu Liu\’s little eyes.She was saying \”Daddy is great\”. Regarding painting talent, some friends may say that some children have painting talent, but our children do not and cannot draw well. There are different opinions on the painting talent, but Liuliu’s father and I quite agree with the philosophy of the teacher of Liuliu’s art class (otherwise we wouldn’t have chosen that class for Liuliu:) The teacher said that every child has If you have a talent for painting, it depends on whether it is stimulated. Moreover, children\’s paintings should not be evaluated in terms of good or bad. There is no standard for good. For example, some children, even if they draw simple lines with a pen, still have their own ideas under the surface that adults cannot understand. You cannot simply and crudely say that they are not good at drawing. Moreover, when adults think that painting is good, it is often the result of the painting. The painting can basically be achieved through technical training, which does not mean anything. Some children\’s paintings do not look like things within the scope of their cognition, but they are used to using colors, lines, and compositions to express their inner feelings. Some children who did not seem to be very good at drawing when they were young were actually inspired to have a talent for painting relatively early. This is the work of the Sixty-Six Painting Class yesterday. Children of the same age, listening to the teacher telling the characteristics and stories of caterpillars, will end up with different pictures. We cannot say that the caterpillar presented by any child is wrong, the images in their minds are just different. And this difference is also related to the degree to which talents are stimulated. Four Misunderstandings in Children’s Art Education If painting talent needs to be stimulated, what should we do during family enlightenment? Combining the views of \”Children\’s Painting Psychology\” and art class teachers, I have summarized the following suggestions: Let me start with four don\’ts. This should be a pitfall that many guardians have stepped on. 01. Don’t buy coloring books and simple drawings. There are many such coloring books and simple drawings for sale on the market. My grandma bought many, many books after she was 661 years old. The children’s toys distributed on the plane are basically the same. Coloring pages. Coloring and sketch drawings can be used by older children, but are not recommended for preschoolers. Coloring simple drawings cannot give children a real painting experience. Children\’s painting should express their own experiences and feelings. This is what we have emphasized above. If you just imitate simple drawings and limit yourself to coloring, let them While skills improve, imagination and creativity are imprisoned. 02. Don’t teach your children how to draw. Children’s first paintings are usually people. To be precise, he is a \”tadpole man\”, and then he will slowly turn into a tadpole man with arms, a tadpole man with ears, and a tadpole man with hair and expressions. Maybe adults will be surprised and confused after seeing it. We can easily find that the proportions of the children\’s paintings are wrong, there is no torso, etc., and we may want to correct the children. However, please respect this process for your child. After all, art is not directly related to image reproduction. For example, the tadpole man is just a simple reproduction of the human image. All cognitive development requires a process, and we cannot overstep it. 03. Don’t hinder children from graffiti. Remember that Sun Li used to post photos of random graffiti such as flowers and so on. Some of the children’s behaviors that we can’t understand may not be causing trouble, but expressing and exploring the world. When the child is 2-4 years old, there is noDuring the graffiti period when their intentions for painting are clear, they are curious about the world and instinctively scribble everywhere. Of course, the cleaning work that comes with it is also a headache, so try to guide the children to draw on paper or install wall film on the wall to give the children enough space to play. 04. Don’t deny what your child is drawing by saying, “What is this drawing of yours? It looks nothing like it.” We may casually deny such a child’s immature drawings. However, if we deny our children\’s paintings over and over again, it will only put pressure on her and make her resist painting. What\’s more serious is that it will dampen the child\’s self-confidence, which is something none of us wants to see. After reading these four options, I guess some friends will ask (I have already been asked when I previewed the first draft to give comments to friends). If the preschool does not approve of coloring and does not allow children to be taught how to draw specifically, Liuliu should She is also in preschool, and she is also in a painting class. So what is she doing in the painting class? Therefore, based on the actual situation of Liuliu, I will talk to you about what aspects need to be investigated if you choose a painting class. (Here we are talking about art classes for children before the age of six, drawing classes for non-old children, etc.) First of all, for children before the age of six, technical training is really not important at all. When choosing a training class, you must look at what you are training on. If the class teaches you how to color accurately and how to draw stick figures in a more standard way, I will definitely not let Liuliu take it. Children at this stage are all about broadening their minds and cultivating their interests. Therefore, Liuliu’s painting class is more about trying various tools for painting under the guidance of the teacher, so that children know that painting is not necessarily limited to brushes, flowers and plants. Colored paper, fingers, etc. can be used to express the sense of the picture. Secondly, how does the teacher teach children to draw, whether to restrict imagination or encourage fantasy. The training class at this time is not training the ability to copy, but to inspire children to express their thoughts through pictures. For example, when I discussed the problem with the teacher of the 66 training class, these were two pieces of homework she received. The theme that everyone was asked to draw in class that day was \”Rooster and Centipede\”. In children\’s imagination, roosters will bite centipedes until their heads bleed, and roosters and centipedes that are many times larger than humans will appear. The teacher does not correct the proportion of bugs and people, but encourages every child and every creativity. This is what I think a children\’s painting class should be like. Third, taking a painting class is more about an environment where everyone can paint together. I posted on a circle of friends that this is her weekend painting class. In fact, this is a place where everyone can paint together. Under the guidance of the atmosphere, Everyone is a little more focused and engaged. In addition, although imagination is encouraged, it is okay if children want to present real objects realistically. What parents can do to educate their children on painting enlightenment has been discussed in the painting class. What should be done when the child does not go to the painting class, or just does not want to sign up for the class, and just wants to enlighten the child on painting at home, so as to effectively stimulate the child? What about children’s painting talent that makes them like painting? The teacher talked about a few points, listened to the children\’s voices, accompanied them to give them a sense of security, and encouraged them to give them more confidence. This is the key to the children\’s upbringing.During the process, parents need to do everything they can. In the enlightenment of painting, the following two points are more important: 01. Cultivate children\’s aesthetics from an early age. There is no difference in the aesthetics of newborn children, but as they grow up day by day, through the influence of the people around them and the environment, they gradually form own aesthetics. It is understandable that you have to make do with your child\’s aesthetics due to financial and energy reasons, but don\’t dress your child up to look ugly just because you think your child has no aesthetics. If a child likes a beautiful thing but cannot buy it temporarily due to financial reasons, it is best not to tell the child that the thing is too ugly and we don’t want it. A better way is to admit its beauty and then tell the child that we will work together in the future. If you work harder, you can have those good things. Regarding how to cultivate aesthetics and how to dress up children, if you are interested, we will talk about it later. I can’t stop talking about it ^_^02. See more and broaden your children’s horizons. If conditions permit, go to nature and art museums. Go to the art museum to see more, observe and experience. The uncanny workmanship of natural landscapes can give children a lot of inspiration about beauty, and the many details of creatures will also give children stronger expressive power in artistic expression. If parents are too busy to go out, babies can read more picture books, high-level and high-quality picture books with really beautiful pictures, forget about the ones that are very crude and crudely made. These are the things we can do better for our children.
