The benefits of graffiti:
Children explore and know the world mainly through sports. In a sense, they think through sports. Children will show some graffiti-like movements, which is a natural performance of his perception and sports ability to a certain extent.
For example, doodling with one object on another is an exploratory doodling action, which is a classic instinctive demand for children to explore and understand the world. When children first started doodling, they mostly doodled around their shoulders. Because this is the lack of coordination of their hands, elbows and shoulders.
Therefore, the picture looks "messy", crooked and intermittent, with points, lines and surfaces piled up at will and the direction is uncertain, so it is called "scribbling". At this time, it may be the first time or rarely for children to express their thoughts and life experiences through pictures, so it is also called aimless graffiti.
But this "aimlessness" is only relative, because children are constantly experiencing and feeling the trajectory left by pens on paper and constantly exploring the relationship between pens and paper. And this desire to experience and explore will continue to explore the dead children.
During this period, children's self-awareness and symbolic thinking have not been fully established, so it is difficult to express the outside world and establish contact with the outside world through graffiti lines. So their graffiti is often unconscious and rarely shows intention. If an adult asks a child, "What is this?" And "What's that?" At this time, it is too early for children to define graffiti themselves.
Because at this time, the child's interest is in experiencing the "experimental exploration" of changing the drawing paper by himself. So there is no need to ask him what he painted at this stage. If children are excited and bold about painting, adults can provide them with bigger drawing paper to satisfy their interest in graffiti.
Although children's early doodling is the result of doodling on paper or other objects, this exploratory "doodling" provides them with the opportunity to feel the fun of muscle movement, and also makes them constantly feel the surprises and fun brought by their creative activities (that is, the different marks left by pens on paper).
This kind of "graffiti" proves their strength: they can change or create some "miracles", which is something that children are very interested in. This kind of interest is also the source of children's enthusiasm for painting, and adults must protect and cultivate it. In addition, this very creative graffiti mark also gives children great psychological and physical satisfaction.
Graffiti is a process of children's perception of shape, space and color, and this process creates a good exercise opportunity for their hand-eye coordination and arm movement function, which can be said to be "beneficial and harmless"
