Children want to learn to draw, and they will go to primary school this year. Is it better to learn sketch art or Chinese painting at this age?

Children who want to learn painting can consider sketching or Chinese painting. The following is a comparison between the two painting forms:

1. Sketch: As the basis of painting, learning sketch can help children master painting skills such as lines, light and shade, and three-dimensional sense. This technique is used in both Chinese painting and western painting. However, the study of sketch may not be suitable for children's ability to accept and understand and the lively and moving characteristics brought by age, and it may be difficult for children to master it.

2. Chinese painting: The study of Chinese painting can master painting skills more comprehensively, and it is also helpful for the study of other fine arts disciplines. The study of Chinese painting can cultivate children's open thinking and aesthetic ability, and at the same time let them know the traditional culture of China. But the study of Chinese painting may take some patience and time, because it needs to master some basic skills, such as using pen and ink.

In short, the choice of sketch or Chinese painting depends on the child's personal interest and learning ability. If children like challenges and can study patiently, then learning sketch may be a good choice. If children want to know more about China's traditional culture and have enough patience to study, it may be more appropriate to study Chinese painting. No matter which painting form you choose, you need to find a good teacher to guide your children to learn.
