How old is the child to learn art? There is no standard answer.
It can be said that children learn to draw at the age you want.
Some children began to learn painting at the age of five and sketched three or five years later.
Some children began to learn to draw at the age of nine, and then learned to sketch directly, without any contact with creative art teaching.
Some parents even exaggerate. When the child is only over two years old, he is sent to an art training institution to study.
No matter how old your child learns to draw, in my humble opinion, children under four need not be sent to art training classes to learn to draw.
Because children under four years old, the world in their eyes has no specific shape, only messy lines and abstract color blocks.
So children under the age of four can just doodle at home.
Children under the age of four are in the graffiti stage, and they are free to smear. If you deliberately correct the child, you must draw a specific shape, which will kill the child's childlike interest unconsciously.
Until the child is four years old, his mind has formed an understanding of the world, and he can draw some simple shapes, such as balloons and flowers.
A classmate once taught a four-year-old child in kindergarten. The theme is to draw three balloons, and draw various expressions on the balloons, such as the expressions of mom and dad themselves. I think it is quite suitable for a four-year-old friend.
Four-year-old friends can enter the training class In my humble opinion, just sign up for an one-hour art class.
Because of the limited attention and patience of children aged three or four, it is certain that children can't sit still for an hour and a half, and the learning effect will not be satisfactory.
If the child is over four years old, it doesn't matter if you send her to learn painting for a long time. It doesn't matter whether you learn painting at the age of seven or nine.
In general art training classes, children should learn art creation, handicrafts, comprehensive material creation, oil painting creation, line drawing, etc., and then transfer to sketch classes at the age of nine.
However, when some children reach the age of nine, they study sketch directly instead of creating art.
You don't have to contact with creative art to learn sketch, because creative art develops imagination and creativity, and sketch is the study of rational science. There is not much connection between them. Unless you draw creative sketches, you will associate imagination with creativity and rational expression.
If I want to take an art test, I learned to sketch when I was ten years old. If you take an art test, you'd better start learning sketch from junior high school, sign up for a training class, take a painting class once a week, and wait until the third year of high school training. When I paint every day, my foundation will definitely be much stronger than that of my classmates who are studying art now, and I will have obvious advantages.
