Children express their image, mood and understanding of things around them through painting. It can be said that children's paintings are children's self-expression. In painting, children show their thoughts, feelings, interests and understanding of the outside world. Therefore, if you want to understand children and help them grow up in an all-round way, you must master the key of children's painting.
Psychology has proved that children's early painting practice can improve their IQ by 30%. Learning to draw is not only drawing, but also cultivating children's cultivation, aesthetics, conduct and quality.
The content of painting can be divided into many kinds, but no matter how many kinds, they are the closest to our lives. In the process of painting, children inadvertently cultivate the ability to judge and identify colors, shapes and spatial positions. In a sense, in children's childhood, in the training of independent thinking and independent work, no activity can be compared with painting. Painting is a complex spiritual activity and the most direct, free and convenient way for children to express their feelings. Through painting, children can fully express their inner feelings and feelings about the outside world.
First, the improvement of memory ability.
Perhaps when adults see children's paintings without "artistic sense", their first reaction is "graffiti". That's understandable. If children's paintings are completely in line with adults' aesthetics, then they can't be "imagined", such as apples, because "imitated" apples are not really recreated. However, this does not mean that children's paintings are meaningless, but we lack understanding of children's works in adult thinking.
In their view, a small circle is a cloud, a figure, and a few uneven lines are a house and several trees. If carefully observed, the Oracle Bone Inscriptions first used by the ancients is like a child's "unconscious memory"!
Children will rummage through the memories stored in their minds when they feel foreign objects, and then express them abstractly in an "immature" and "naive" way. Some psychologists even think that children are the most creative before the age of 5, and can almost be equated with masters of painting. What they draw is not nothingness, but a memory recovery of reality, but the expression is not the way we adults usually accept.
Second, the improvement of observation ability.
When your child happily points to the "little quirk" in his painting and says this is super and that is invincible, don't hit him with eyes full of distrust. Although the picture is a bit confusing and the shape is a bit outrageous, have you found out what role or posture these common things that we despise in daily life appear in his perceived world?
In fact, this is the performance of children's observation ability. They can notice many details that adults can't, and their inner world is sometimes more sensitive and delicate than adults.
Third, the improvement of imagination.
Why is it always difficult for us to understand what children draw?
Because our imagination and cognitive abilities are different from those of children. Adults like regular and real things, but children's world is full of fairy-tale romance, flowers can sing, the sun has a beard, rabbits hold balloons, and TV has two hands ... this is the best expression of imagination.
At the same time, the use of color can better show children's bold imagination. They paint colors according to their own interests, such as red figures, green houses and blue kittens ... but don't use "outrageous" to understand the world they see, because in their eyes, the world is rich and colorful.
Fourth, vent your emotions in time.
Diest Weeher, a famous educator, pointed out: "Painting 1 hour can get more things than watching for 9 hours." This is why many psychologists sometimes ask patients to draw pictures first when treating them. It's also in child psychology. Through the analysis of children's paintings, we can get the root of children's emotional and psychological diseases.
Children have a natural childlike interest and a strong desire for expression, and their joys and sorrows are vividly on the paper. When they can't express their inner world in rich language, painting comes into being through the combination of hands and brains. In other words, in fact, every painting is a portrayal of the child's inner true thoughts and an external expression of the child's emotions. Let me tell you a little secret: if the lines in the child's graffiti are stiff, mixed, overlapping and dull, all these indicate that he may be in a bad mood at the moment. On the contrary, if the child's graffiti lines are soft, rich and bright, it means that the child's mood is healthy and good.
Five, painting makes the left and right brains work together.
In daily life, practical ability is mainly to develop the left hemisphere, think about what to draw, how to draw, and control hand movements, which will promote the intellectual development of the left hemisphere.
When children draw, they inadvertently cultivate the ability to judge and identify color, shape and spatial position, which is very beneficial to the development of right brain intelligence. So painting can move around the brain at the same time. In the process of continuous painting creation, children will constantly break the original thinking and stereotypes. When receiving new things from the outside world, the inspiration is on the verge, and the left and right brains "start work" at the same time.
Sixth, the painting process exercises children's ability.
From the beginning of simple graffiti, children are constantly innovating. From the lines of the initial trajectory to meaningful shapes, colors and contents, creativity can be brought into full play.
From a large number of children's paintings and the process of children's paintings, we can know that children's paintings are a process of strengthening memory, promoting children's observation and cultivating children's imagination. It is composed of subtle observation ability, vivid thinking ability, efficient memory, creative imagination, coordinated movements of hands and rich expression ability. These abilities can not be easily achieved by supplements!
Painting is a form of expression.
Painting is also an art, which is as charming as music and dance, and can be said to be a form of human expression. Both children's and adults' paintings are accompanied by personal emotional factors. You know, works without feelings are rigid and lifeless. Therefore, if you want your child to have artistic cells from an early age, let him try! Of course, "interest is the best teacher" can not be ignored.
Many people think painting is useless. This idea is all wet. Painting is not only an artistic talent, but also promotes the development of emotional thinking. The process of drawing is an imaginative process, which can broaden children's spiritual thinking space. Therefore, learning painting is very beneficial to children's growth!
Developed countries all attach great importance to children's early art education. This is because this activity is of great significance to the development of children's observation, memory, imagination, creativity, hand-brain coordination and aesthetic ability, and has an irreplaceable role in other disciplines!
