Children aged 7- 12 are suitable for learning comics, traditional Chinese painting, gouache and other paintings. Children of this age usually have a certain knowledge and understanding of painting, and their hands-on ability is gradually enhanced. Learning comics can develop children's imagination and creativity and stimulate children's love for painting; Learning Chinese painting and gouache can cultivate their color perception and painting skills. At the same time, children of this age have begun to show interest in more in-depth painting skills such as sketching and sketching, which can be gradually guided and cultivated according to their interests and needs.

When teaching children aged 7 to 12 to learn drawing, it is suggested to teach them according to their age and interests. For example, for children in the stage of sensory modeling (3-5 years old), they can stimulate their curiosity and cognition of lines, shapes and colors through painting games; For children (6-8 years old), we can guide them to observe and experience objects, events, life, natural environment and visual arts, and stimulate their desire and impulse to shape and create; For children (8- 16 years old) in the professional art development section, some painting knowledge and techniques can be taught to help them master more complicated painting skills.

In short, to teach children aged 7- 12 to learn painting, we need to classify them according to their age and interests, and focus on cultivating their imagination and creativity, as well as color perception and painting skills. At the same time, we should pay attention to guiding them to find inspiration from life and express their inner world through painting.
