As we said before, children aged 3-7 have super imitation ability, learning ability and creativity. Therefore, what kind of environment children are in, what kind of education they receive, and what kind of education methods parents and teachers adopt will directly affect their children. If children's art education only imitates painting, then over time, children may enhance their imitation ability in painting creation, but their creative ability disappears. Give a child a picture, he may be able to imitate it well, but if he is allowed to create freely, he may not know where to start writing, because his imagination and creativity may be degraded in long-term mechanical imitation. However, children's art education should avoid this phenomenon. Children's art education should aim at cultivating children's creative thinking, and creative talents are the talents needed by the future society.
How to cultivate children's creative thinking in children's art education? To cultivate children's creative thinking, we first need to liberate children's thinking constraints. Some parents and teachers often tell their children that what you draw here is wrong and what you draw there is wrong. Apples should be round, not flat, and the moon should be curved, which undoubtedly binds children's thinking. In children's imaginary world, it is almost omnipotent. Apples are not only round, but also flat. Leaves may be colored, and so on. These are all children's imaginations, and we should not interfere too much, because many achievements made in modern society are also creations that predecessors thought impossible, but we have achieved them. HarmonyOS has been engaged in children's art education for many years. I believe that anything is possible as long as you dare to think and create. Children are regarded as the hope of the future because they have unlimited possibilities. What we think is impossible may come true in the future. Emancipating children's thinking and respecting children's personality development are the principles that children's art education should follow and the most effective way to cultivate children's creative thinking.
