Painting is not only an art, but also a bridge for parents and friends to get close to their children and truly understand their children's inner world. How many benefits do you know about learning to draw for young children? Let's take a look at the four benefits of children learning to draw.
1. Improvement of memory ability
Perhaps seeing children painting without any "artistic sense" to speak of, the first reaction of adults is to "doodle by hand", which is understandable, if the children's paintings are completely in line with the aesthetic views of adults, then it is impossible to say "imagination", and we lack the understanding of children's works in our adult thinking. Some psychologists believe that children are the most creative before the age of 5, almost equivalent to master painters. The content of their paintings is not nothing, it is a kind of memory restoration of reality, but the way of expression is not the usual way of acceptance that we adults are accustomed to.
2. Improvement of observation ability
When your child happily points to the "little weirdness" in his painting and says that this is super~, that is invincible~, don't hit him with a look full of distrust. Although the picture is a little chaotic and the shape is a little outrageous, have you ever found that these things that we often see in daily life and disdain, in what role or posture appear in the world he perceives?
In fact, this is the performance of children's observation ability, not limited by the fixed pattern, they can pay attention to many details that adults can no longer notice, and their inner world is sometimes more sensitive and delicate than that of adults.
3. Improvement of imagination ability
Why do we always have a hard time understanding what our children are drawing?
Because we are different from children's imagination and cognitive ability. Adults like rules, real things, and children's world is full of fairy tales, flowers can sing, the sun grows beards, rabbits hold balloons, tv sets have two hands... This is the best expression of imagination.
At the same time, the use of color can show the children's bold imagination, they can paint colors according to their own interests and wishes, red little people, green houses, blue kittens... But don't use "outrageous" to understand the world they see, because in their eyes, the world is inherently colorful.
4. Timely catharsis of emotions
The famous educator Diester Wech pointed out: "Painting for 1 hour to get more things than to see 9 hours to get more things." "That's why many psychologists sometimes have to ask patients to draw a picture first when treating them." There is also this item in child psychology, through the analysis of children's paintings, we can draw the root cause of children's emotions and mental illness.
Children have a natural childlike interest and a strong desire to express, and their joys and sorrows jump on the paper. At a time when they could not express their inner world in rich language, painting was produced through the combination of hand and brain. That is to say, in fact, each painting is a portrayal of the child's true inner thoughts and an external expression of the child's emotions. Here's a little secret: If your child's doodles are stiff, mixed, overlapping, and dull, it means that he may be in a bad mood at the moment. On the contrary, if the child's graffiti lines are soft, rich, and the color is bright, it means that the child's mood is healthy and the mood is good.
