1-/kloc-how do children of 0/0 learn to draw at all ages?

Victor Roenfeld, a famous American art education professor and writer, has such a passage in his book Your Child and His Art to describe the significance of art to children. This is what he said:

"For children who have been exposed to artistic creation in childhood, art probably means the difference between a happy and adaptable individual and a knowledgeable individual who is physically and mentally unbalanced and unable to adapt to the surrounding environment.

For children, art is a necessary element to balance intelligence and emotion, and it is a good partner for children. Whenever in trouble, the child will naturally ask this partner for help; Even, whenever the language becomes pale and weak, the child will subconsciously ask this good friend for help. "

More and more parents have realized the importance of cultivating children's artistic ability. But the question is coming. Many parents will wonder, at what age is it appropriate for children to learn painting? What is more suitable for children of every age to learn to draw?

We have always advocated that children should not be limited by learning skills when they are young. We need to provide more space for children to cultivate their imagination and creativity. Today, I would like to share with you this practical dry painting education at the right age, hoping to help parents and friends understand their children's painting needs. However, education is definitely not a matter of rules and regulations. Every child is different. As long as it does not violate the law of growth, parents should refer to these and find a more suitable education method for their children.

[Sketch]: 1-2 years old

Draw at will: One-year-old babies use tools they can touch (such as pencils, crayons, bamboo poles, branches, etc.). ) draw clumsily wherever you are. In daubing activities, they feel novel and fun, and are willing to try. At first, they had no idea about painting, just the instinct of children to be active. At this stage, the child is not painting, but experiencing the movement of the brush and controlling his body, so as to get pleasure and pleasure.

Adults may find it difficult to understand the shapes of children's paintings, but they feel the joy and surprise in children's hearts from the dynamics of those lines. At this time, what parents and friends have to do is to leave a wall at home or prepare a space for the baby to draw casually!

Graffiti: 3-5 years old

Graffiti painting: 3-5-year-old children are in the graffiti period, which is the key stage of children's painting and the development period of fine hand movements. Graffiti helps them master the coordination of their hands, use painting tools correctly, and help children develop their intelligence and deepen their understanding of colors and graphics during this period.

Children are in the stage of thinking in images in their early years, and painting is also a special language way to express their inner thoughts. Children like to express their cognition of objective things and subtle feelings in the form of lines, figures and paintings.

Creative painting with comprehensive materials: over 5 years old.

Creative painting: not only painting with brush, but also using a variety of materials to express and enrich the picture. Learn creative painting, in addition to all kinds of pigments, there are clay, paper towels, oil pastels, leaves of nature, stones, salt, flour and so on. It may be the content of your picture. Children aged 5-9 are happier when painting with comprehensive materials. This period is the most active period of children's thinking, and they can express their ideas more completely and clearly. This period is also the period when children paint the most.

At this stage, when training children to draw, please pay attention to: by guiding children to draw with different materials, open their minds, so as to better cultivate their imagination and creativity. Let children draw works in their own way easily and boldly. Pay attention to children's subjective consciousness, and never emphasize the reality of things, such as asking "What are you drawing? Why not? " This kind of problem.

Gouache painting: over 6 years old

Gouache painting: among many color painting tools, the most prominent feature of bright gouache painting is that it is easy to reconcile, and children can easily bring up thousands of colors, and gouache painting is easier to show without using too complicated techniques. Thick paintings have the same coverage and adhesion as oil paintings, while thin paintings are as smooth and moist as watercolors. Gouache is easier to clean up during and after painting. For children who are new to color, gouache is the best choice.

Clay sculpture relief painting: more than 6 years

Clay sculpture relief painting: Clay sculpture is a kind of soft sculpture material popular in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and other countries. Because the raw material is mainly paper fiber, we also call it pulp mud or paper clay. Clay can not only be used to make cute dolls, but also DIY clay relief paintings full of three-dimensional sense. It is a very practical painting.

Characteristics of clay relief:

1. Various colors, non-toxic, non-sticky, good flexibility and strong plasticity.

2. The work does not need to be baked, and it is naturally air-dried, and there will be no cracks after drying.

Line drawing: over 7 years old

Line drawing: Line drawing is a method to express the volume, shape, texture, sense of quantity and movement of an object with the brushwork of line weight, shade, thickness, reality and length, with lines as the most basic means of expression. Line drawing can not only shape images and convey feelings, but also cultivate children's observation, imagination, creativity and expressiveness in all directions. Line drawing can help children transition from casual children's painting to objective description of the world around them. While describing their understanding of the world with lines, they subtly cultivated a solid sketch foundation to prepare for the next stage of sketch.

Children over 7 years old have obvious realistic tendency. At this stage, we should pay attention to guiding children to observe the relationship between details and the whole. For example, children can draw a painting diary to cultivate their image memory ability. Let children draw works in their own way easily and boldly.

Traditional Chinese painting: over 8 years old

Chinese painting: Chinese painting is a traditional form of painting in China. It is painted on silk or paper with a brush dipped in water, ink and pigment. The theme of Chinese painting can be divided into figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, and the techniques can be divided into figurative and freehand brushwork.

As for when to start learning Chinese painting, I consulted a professional Chinese painting teacher, and it is more consistent that I can start learning after I am 8 years old. At this point, the child's hand muscles have gradually matured and can better control the pen power. Before learning Chinese painting, it is recommended to learn children's painting to lay a good foundation, rather than learning advanced ink freehand brushwork from the beginning. Learning Chinese painting requires children's professional ability in painting. After all, Chinese painting requires children to have strong ability and flexibility to control wrist strength.

Sketch: 9 years old and above

Sketch: A monochrome picture drawn with charcoal pen, pencil and pen. This method of drawing objects with lines is called sketching. The child is about 9 years old, and if he plans to take the road of painting in the future, he will start to lay a good foundation for sketching. Sketch is the basis of painting, the skeleton of painting, the person who paints well, and other kinds of painting are natural.

After reading the above introduction, I believe that parents and friends are familiar with each kind of painting and the corresponding age, but these are only personal understandings, and the specific situation should be adjusted according to the children's own conditions. Parents and friends should pay more attention to children's opinions, try to let children choose their real interests and paintings, conduct systematic study, abandon utilitarian purposes, and let art nourish health.

Tips for parents should pay special attention to:

1. Children's painting, don't judge children's painting ability by whether they are like or not. As long as it can truly reflect children's life feelings or experiences, it is a good work. It is important to complete a painting process of "passion release" in your own way.

2. There is no right or wrong in children's painting, nor does it say that it should be done, which is unreasonable. Allow to draw outside the line, allow to be naive.

3. Although the yardstick for evaluating children's paintings is whether the works are "naive", not all paintings with "naivety" have aesthetic value. Children's painting focuses on creativity, not skill. Many parents can't understand why other children's works have been selected for some exhibitions, while our children draw so well, but they are not successful. Usually children's paintings, which are creative, "childish" and conform to aesthetic requirements and artistic laws, will be recognized by professionals.

4. Although the paper points out the painting methods suitable for children of different ages, parents should not be limited to this, not to say that 5-year-old children can't draw Chinese paintings, but that parents can provide their children with rich painting tools to let them feel the characteristics and performance of different materials. It is important to respect the characteristics of children of all ages, give them timely guidance, and most importantly, let them touch and feel more and find the most suitable painting method for them.

Art has a fundamental influence on children's personality growth and even the future. It can not only help children to adjust their emotions, but also enrich their spiritual world and make their sensory abilities such as observation, listening and touching more sensitive. At the same time, art is not only a way for children to vent their emotions, but also a source of happiness. In the process of artistic creation, children use art to express themselves and understand themselves better. We suggest that parents help themselves to make better choices by better understanding various art forms, so that children can not only wander freely in the ocean of art, but also learn and feel the painting methods that suit them without any burden.
