How old is the child to learn Chinese painting better ah?

It is not recommended for children to learn Chinese painting for the following reasons:

1. Painting skills are very demanding.

Chinese painting requires a high level of painting technique, which is usually difficult to master if the child is small. The best age for children to learn Chinese painting is around 5-10 years old, and it is not recommended for children who are too young to learn Chinese painting.

2. It is not conducive to the development of children's imagination.

Usually, the best time for children to develop their imagination is before the age of 7, but the study of Chinese painting has no obvious effect on stimulating children's imagination. If parents want their children to enter the Academy of Fine Arts later, children after the age of 3 can learn to write brush characters first.

3. Cannot understand the connotation of Chinese painting well.

For Chinese painting, we attach great importance to the expression of meaning, which requires some techniques as a foundation, and is different from the imagination we usually talk about. Children who are too young have a shallow life experience. Learning Chinese painting too early is just imitation, it is hard to learn the essence. Chinese painting class an adult to half a year to understand, so it is not recommended that children learn Chinese painting too early.

4, the teacher's strength is uneven.

Currently on the market for children's national painting training courses, in terms of teaching materials and teachers, are basically randomly selected. The quality of teaching materials is not high, and the quality of teachers is difficult to guarantee. Most children have no idea where to start after learning Chinese painting. Besides that, the child's interest is also very important. Only the child is interested in Chinese painting, otherwise even the best teacher is just fooling around.

5, early contact learning is not good.

For children aged 7 or 8, although they can learn Chinese painting directly without learning children's painting, Chinese painting, especially landscape painting, is an art for children who have no foundation in painting. If they just see painting as a craft, it's fine to approach them early. But if they want to understand the brush and ink techniques of landscape Chinese painting and make a difference, it is not recommended to learn Chinese painting directly.
