Drawing can give full play to children's imagination and is a way to express feelings. Drawing can exercise the flexibility and coordination of children's small hands, and it is a good way to train children to be good at observing things and understanding their characteristics. Drawing can also develop the function of the right hemisphere of the brain, which is also of great benefit to the development of intelligence. Therefore, parents should give their baby a small brush when he is 1 year old, so that he can doodle as he likes. In this way, by the age of 3, children can draw some simple and childlike pictures. How to guide children to draw "Is it enough to provide paper and pens for children to draw at will?" "I asked my child to draw, but he always said that he couldn't draw, and asked me to write a ghost or hold his hand to draw. Is that all right? " It's hard for modern parents. How do you solve the problem when a helpless child stares at a pen and paper? It is not difficult to "listen" to children's paintings. First of all, we should get rid of the wrong idea of "painting as it is". For children, painting is like keeping a diary for adults. They will use existing and familiar expressions to "record" their life experiences with various patterns of dots, lines and circles. A few simple lines represent their mothers: chaotic mistakes represent their younger brothers; circles represent delicious cookies ... Children use "paintings" to tell their feelings and discoveries. Therefore, when we look at a child's paintings, we don't look at them like they are, but "listen" to what is expressed in his paintings, and understand, care and respect what he says. When guiding graffiti children (two to four years old) to draw their mental images and feelings about life experiences, they can also add comments next to the pictures drawn by children with dotted lines. Guide children to draw with words. When children want to draw something, but don't know how to express it, please use words to guide them to draw. For example, if a child wants to draw an "elephant", you can discuss the characteristics of the elephant with him first. If you can add pictures or books to deepen your child's impression, you can even take your child to the zoo to watch, which can strengthen your child's desire to express the contents and concepts of paintings. Then, encourage children to describe their heads, bodies and limbs with basic shapes-circles, squares and triangles. "Think about it, what is the shape of the elephant's head and long nose? Round or rectangular? " "Very well! What shape is the body? " "Rectangular." If you want to further enrich the content of children's paintings, you can discuss and share with your children, master the principle of who, when, where and what, and give oral stimulation. Take drawing a barbecue as an example and ask the child, "Who are you going with?" "Where is the barbecue? Grass? By the river? " "Is it in the morning? At night? Or barbecue at night? " "In addition to barbecue, what else did you do? Chatting and drinking? Singing? Play ball? " Enriching children's life experience is an important way to help children grow up in the art world. For example, taking children to the zoo, swimming, barbecuing, climbing mountains, singing, dancing ... even eating, bathing, brushing your teeth, sleeping and so on are the best sources to enrich children's painting inspiration. Only through personal experience can children draw vivid, sincere and emotional works, and will not always draw pictures with empty content and lack of change, which will make parents wonder. Such works, even though technically immature, can touch the painter's heart, and children can get more satisfaction in the process of painting. Provide picture books that can evoke the sound of * * *, guide children to draw with the help of picture books, and cultivate children's judgment, choice and integration ability. However, the content of picture books should conform to children's language understanding, with books as the main part and words as the supplement. Like children aged four to six, they like humorous, novel and imaginative picture books. Grimm's fairy tales, Andersen's fairy tales, folk stories of various countries, or books such as The Hungry Caterpillar, It's Rain, and The Island of Change in Color in modern creation are all good books to expand children's cognitive experience and stimulate their imagination. Furthermore, the story structure of picture books should have three or four different situations or climaxes, and it should be easy to describe, so that children can draw with ease, and even integrate several climaxes and choose a paragraph to show in the painting. Make good use of catchy nursery rhymes in addition to picture books, you can also make good use of nursery rhymes as a good helper. Like Flowers Selling Perfume: Xiao Budei, open the door and sell perfume. Butterfly, fly, fly, buy perfume, look at this and smell that. This children's song has a light tune and personifies flowers and butterflies. Both flowers and butterflies have smiling faces, the hair of flowers is floating, and pink is bright and fragrant! The content is easy to understand and associate, which conforms to the concept of animism of children in the "schema period" A simple theme like this, combined with creative association, can help children create vivid pictures. When guiding children with children's songs, it is best for parents and children to sing together, so that children can understand the meaning of lyrics in a pleasant situation and profound action experience. If the content of a child's work is a bit empty, parents can also guide the child to boldly extend the content and expand different situations with words such as things, scenery and people mentioned in the lyrics. As long as you have keen perception, it is not difficult to find the theme of painting to accompany children into the fairy tale world: the way of painting is not difficult, as long as you are brave in trying and innovating. When a child discovers a novel and beautiful expression of his own feelings, his painting comes to life. Adults must not draw pictures for children, nor let children copy them, which will gradually obliterate children's ability to integrate, analyze and arrange things, as well as the originality of his performance. Q&A on children's painting; A Q: What if a child is too timid to draw? A: The traces of children's paintings can show the psychological state at that time. The image and effect of the picture can show the child's character and courage. Children's timidity is usually in class or when there are people around. First of all, always encourage children. If it is in a collective environment, we should create a pleasant painting atmosphere. Let the children integrate into the group as soon as possible and don't feel strange. However, high demands have alleviated the psychological pressure of children. Encourage children to write boldly. No child will leave a mark on the paper. As long as you dare to draw, you will succeed. Painting for the first time is generally worried about failure and teacher's evaluation. In the process of learning, I gradually became timid. Generally, it has not been positively evaluated by teachers or parents. Or demanding too much, children worry about their abilities and lose self-confidence. Therefore, always give your child a positive evaluation. Turn criticism into hints and hints. Let it build confidence. As long as children actively complete the whole process of learning, I believe they will gradually draw boldly. Q: What should children do if they draw monochrome? A: First of all, let's see if it is the child's eye physiology. Many children have a preference for a certain color and like to use a certain color or a certain color often. In this case, children can be guided to observe various colors and experience different feelings. Observe the ever-changing colors around you. And encourage them to express it in their own paintings. Teachers can design color practice classes to let children experience colorful feelings in painting. You can also look at other children's colorful paintings and advocate them. Q: What if children often draw the same image? A: Children often draw the same images, which shows that he has mastered the painting methods of these images skillfully. It is customary to draw the same image. These images are drawn smoothly, and it is easy to experience a certain degree of painting pleasure. Some children draw the same image and never change it. After a long time, it is easy to form some concepts or patterns. This will affect the improvement of painting level. For such children, we should first remind them to really observe the images they often draw and make new discoveries from them. Show what you find in familiar images. Encourage them to look for other images and try to draw them boldly. For example, some children often draw small bungalows with triangular roofs and checkered windows. Then you can prompt to observe the beautiful buildings on modern streets. Then observe the cars, people, trees, street lamps, advertisements and so on in the street. Gradually increase the image of painting. Some children especially like certain images or certain aspects of content. For example: beauty, animals, war and so on. However, there are still some changes in specific image movements, costumes and styles. Practice makes perfect, skills can be changed, not necessarily bad. The content of these children's paintings has certain limitations. It can expand children's knowledge and interest in daily life and study. The more interested you are, the more you consciously observe and understand. This is easy to show in the process of painting. The content of the work will be gradually enriched. Q: What if children's interest in painting wanes? A: First of all, we should analyze and understand the reasons for the weakening interest in painting. Some children were fine when they first learned to draw, but their interest in drawing declined after a while. There may be several reasons: first, there are few positive comments or they are often criticized and attacked by people around them, which weakens the motivation of learning; Or can't adapt to the difficulty of learning and experience the fun of learning; Or the content of the study is not all you are interested in; Or after-school homework has become their own burden, and they are criticized and forced to complete it if they are not completed or not completed well. Arouse disgust There are many reasons for the weakening of interest, which need to be analyzed in detail. If interest is weakened, we must find ways to stimulate children's interest in learning. You can try it like this. 1. Understand children's paintings, understand children, communicate more and encourage more. 2. In the process of learning, guide children to discover their own strengths. Learn from others' strengths. Don't compare the advantages of other people's children with the shortcomings of your own children, and rush to blame them. Such "provocation" will generally not have a good effect. As long as the child keeps improving and surpassing himself, it is success. You can arrange a "small exhibition" for your children at home, so that big friends and children can encourage and praise them. Give children a sense of accomplishment. 4. Encourage children to seize the opportunity to express themselves. Such as: class blackboard newspaper, painting activities, etc. Being rewarded and encouraged is also the motivation to learn painting. 5. Appropriate replacement of painting tools and materials that children are interested in. 6. Encourage children to make simple images more complicated and complete their works. He will have more opportunities to be encouraged and praised. 7. Draw more interesting things besides homework. Wait a minute. Q: Do children always draw with an eraser? A: No, unless the object drawn by the child is too small (which must be corrected), other situations should be avoided as much as possible. Because using too many erasers will make children develop many bad habits, such as not being confident and afraid to draw, and not being able to maintain emotional continuity when drawing. After the habitual alteration is formed, children can't think seriously when drawing, and casually put pen to paper, which will have a bad influence on future painting learning. Q: When I paint, I am always used to making the image in the painting very small, and the image can't fill the whole picture. What if the image is scattered? A: We can correct it in some specific ways. For example, you can set an image standard: for example, compare your own image with the one you draw. Children can learn to make full use of space, draw half of the images in a narrow space, or let the images block each other. The bigger the object is drawn, the more numbers are drawn, and the picture will naturally be full. Q: What if children like to draw with lines but don't like to draw? A: Whether a painting is colored or not is not a criterion for evaluating a painting. Painting has various forms. Single-line painting can be as good as black-and-white painting. In children's painting learning, different forms of expression are adopted according to different training requirements and different training purposes. For example, in modeling training, you can concentrate on line drawing practice. Moreover, line drawing training is the key content of painting learning. Generally speaking, children are interested in colors. Children draw lines well, and beautiful color pictures will be more beautiful and moving. Children don't like coloring, probably because they feel troublesome. According to the characteristics of children, it is best to use more convenient and thick painting tools when coloring, which can save time. Because children have less time to concentrate. On the other hand, children are often reminded to pay attention to beautiful colors. Compare the uncolored painting with the colored painting to remind children that a good painting definitely needs hard work. You can also try to make collages with colored paper, or draw directly with colored paper with background color. Ten taboos for children's painting. When children draw, they keep commenting on the side; Investigate whether every detail is true and demand immediate correction; When children ask for painting equipment, they always take pains to emphasize the price of pens and paper, and don't waste it; Constantly remind children to pay attention to the cleanliness of their hands and environment, so that children can't concentrate or give up painting for fear of criticism; When children show their works to their parents, they don't want to praise them happily. They always repeat things like "Don't be proud". Ask children to achieve painting skills that they have never been able to achieve; Inappropriately always compare with other children, "you see others draw better than you", thinking that this can stimulate children's self-motivation; Sending children to learn adult painting too early restricts their rich imagination; Irony children face to face, because their painting skills are not yet mature; Dealing with children's favorite works without consent; If you choose "Yes" unfortunately, then you really have to "make up lessons" for children's paintings. 10 Suggestions for parents.
