Regarding their children's art Xi, many parents have had such questions: their children have been learning to paint for a long time, and they still feel that painting is still not very good-looking, do they still want to send their children to continue to learn Xi painting?
Here, the teacher wants to tell parents that, first of all, children's paintings cannot be simply evaluated by "whether they look good" or "whether they look like them". At the same time, for children, the most important thing to learn to paint is not to learn Xi painting skills, that is, painting well is not the primary purpose, but to enlighten beauty through painting and improve comprehensive ability is more important.
1. Why should children be exposed to art creation as early as possible?
If parents think, "My children don't have artistic cells, not material for painting." Or, "I don't want him or her to be a painter in the future, so he or she doesn't need to study art." ”…Then you are wrong.
Art educators have found that children have the potential to draw before the age of 10, and they develop synchronously like walking and talking. It is the nature of children to like to draw, and the creativity, imagination and freewheeling expressiveness that every child who has not undergone misguidance and intervention is often beyond our reach.
Aesthetic enlightenment can not only improve children's painting ability, but also: develop children's observation and perception ability, and form a keen observation and delicate perception;Cultivating rich emotions and painting is conducive to children's emotional catharsis, relaxation, and at the same time cultivating sentiment and improving self-cultivation, so that life is full and perfectCultivate imagination and creativity, constantly explore and try new painting content and techniques, express personality, form innovative thinking, and benefit for a lifetimeDevelop thinking ability and independent ability, promote the development of image thinking and logical thinking, think independently in the process of conception, layout, coloring, trimming, etc., and form independent good Xi;Develop hands-on skills, the ability to recognize new things and acquire new knowledge, self-confidence, perseverance, patience, etc.
2. How to evaluate children's works?
Is there such a situation: the child is full of joy to show you his own painting, but the parent sees it and says, "What a mess, ugly to death!"."It's not like it at all, how can people be taller than houses?"."Look at how well people draw them......”
Many times, parents can't look at children's paintings with the best eyes, and they can't measure its quality by "whether it's like it" and "whether it's accurate" or not. Children's drawings are often influenced by their intuitive thinking and self-centeredness, and are often subjective and imagery. Be more encouraging, listening, less critical, and let the children talk about their drawings on their own, without pouring cold water on them or forcing them to draw.
Professor Yang Jingzhi, editor-in-chief of primary and secondary school art textbooks and a well-known children's art educator, believes that the following points should be paid attention to in the evaluation of children's art works:
1) The child's drawing should be consistent with the psychological development and drawing ability of his age, and should not be promoted by pulling out the seedlings.
2) The content and form of the painting should be able to express the child's feelings and nature.
3) There must be originality, copying and plagiarism are not advisable.
4) The picture is full, bold and affirmative with lines and colors, and has a sense of beauty.
5) Dare to explore, not afraid of failure, and have uniqueness.
3. The role of parents in children's art creation
Even if parents do not enroll their children in art training classes, they should do the following:
1) In the child's view, drawing is playing, do not exert pressure and carry a burden.
2) Satisfy and support their willingness to paint, provide them with the necessary paper, pen and environment, and do not reprimand them even if their clothes are dirty.
3) Communicate with children more, understand their thoughts and thoughts, learn to listen, and understand their drawings.
4) Participate in social activities with children to enrich their lives and broaden their horizons. Look at some art albums and exhibitions to improve your appreciation.
5) Start a family art exhibition and decorate the room with your child's drawings so that he can experience a sense of accomplishment and fun.
