Although I don't chase stars, I have seen the wonderful performances of Li Bingbing and Ren Quan in "Young Bao Qingtian", and I will be deeply impressed by Li Bingbing. Inadvertently brushed li bingbing birthday, she posted the birthday gift given to her by her nephew and niece - the look of Li Bingbing in the hearts of the children, I have feelings in my heart.
Unexpectedly, I had two children, Li Bingbing was still young and beautiful, and her style did not diminish that year.
Li Bingbing said on the social platform that the time spent with the children passed in a whirlwind, and the children softened her years, beautified her time, and made her birthday different and meaningful.
Li Bingbing said that she did not understand the children's paintings, why did she have a circle above her head? In the children's explanation, she learned that it was because she loved to prick the child, which was really a simple image. The children's paintings are really heartwarming and cute!
An actor who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting will read and understand children in children's graffiti, rather than simply and rudely evaluating children's drawings. Although she is not married and has no children, it does not prevent her from understanding the characteristics of her children's paintings, so as to understand their children's paintings.
However, many of us parents often evaluate their children by drawing likes, thinking that their children's graffiti is messy, what is there to see? Thus in the parents' ignorance and ignorance, the child's enthusiasm for painting is destroyed.
Every child is a natural artist, and their understanding of beauty is innate. Protecting children's enthusiasm for painting is not to cultivate children to become painters, not to teach children painting skills, but to cultivate children's creativity, imagination, artistic aesthetics and appreciation.
Asaki Torii preached in the book "Raising Children Begins with Painting" that the education of a person's life begins with art education in early childhood. If the painting of early childhood is denied, then this will not only affect the child's development in early childhood, but also the child's ability to learn for life may also be denied.
So, as parents, how do we read children's paintings and protect their enthusiasm for painting?
Children's drawings are different from adults' drawings, do not look at children's paintings from an adult's point of view
After the baby is born, we will not ask them to be able to talk and walk, but to follow the rules of the baby's physical development, provide them with help, give them time to develop big exercise, and learn to speak. After the baby adds complementary foods, we do not ask them to eat adult food, but provide a variety of complementary foods in stages, cooking delicious foods suitable for them.
The same is true of children's paintings, they go from point to line, from line to surface, from single color to rich color, which is a gradual process. We can't use the adult's perspective to evaluate whether the child's painting is good or not, like not like it, let alone that the child's two eyes are different, the nose is too small, and so on.
In the book "Raising Children Begins with Drawing", Torii said that children are not adults who are one size smaller, whether they are zero-year-olds, one-year-olds, or 3-year-olds, they all have their own independent personalities and life experiences. They are completely different living individuals from adults.
Therefore, as parents, we cannot use the perspective of adults to evaluate children's paintings, nor should we use adult cognition to ask children to draw like this. Otherwise, it will disturb the child's enthusiasm for creation and destroy the child's interest in painting.
In the right way, read your child's drawings
In the book "Raising Children to Start with Painting", Torii taught that children express their ideas through painting, telling their feelings and discoveries. Children's drawings are not for seeing, but for listening. Their act of painting only makes sense if their paintings are heard.
When children draw, all we can do is provide a prepared environment and pen and paper, so that they can doodle freely and do not disturb them. When the child is finished drawing or is irritable, we can ask the child with an appreciative eye and let them speak out.
The book preaches that different ages have different ways of listening to painting. If it's a 2-3 year old, we can ask "what is this" and listen to what they give to the painting. After the age of four, we can ask children "what are they doing" and listen to the stories in their drawings.
However, let's listen to the child draw, not always next to the child asking what they are drawing, disturbing the child's drawing. Instead, after the child has finished drawing or when they are resting, let them tell us about it.
Therefore, for children's paintings, the most important thing as a parent is to listen, to understand, to feel! Wait until the child is six or seven years old, and then systematically learn the techniques and methods of painting.
With the right praise, protect the child's enthusiasm for painting
"It's so beautifully painted!"
"Nice, nice!"
It is often heard that some parents praise their children in this way, and adults think that they have already seen their children, but in fact, they bring disappointment and frustration to their children. This kind of praise seems to the child to be perfunctory and ignored. So, how do we praise our children's paintings for those who don't understand art?
When I take Dabao to a painting interest class, before the end of each class, children will come to the stage to share their works. After the sharing, the teacher will evaluate the child's graffiti from the following aspects.
1, praise the child's dot line surface: here is a little, wired, this point and the line are connected... For example, when Dabao takes a pen to doodle more than one year old, I will praise her for some big points and heavy pen strength, and some small pen strength.
2, praise the child's color collocation: cold and warm color collocation, red, yellow and blue three primary colors collocation, red and blue mixed with what color and so on.
3, praise the layout of the child's painting: this painting tree is on the top, the grass is below, staggered...
4. Express the feelings that children paint to us; I think this line is particularly interesting, how do you create it?
The most important thing is to praise the details, praise the children's attention, praise the children's efforts, and then work with the children to collect their works that they feel good or hang on the wall, so that the children feel that their paintings are seen and valued, then they will want to express and want to paint more works.
Maybe we are not painters and do not know how to draw, but it does not prevent us from praising children in the right way and protecting their enthusiasm for painting.
Write at the end
The master of art Picasso once said: "I can paint like a master in a short time, but I spend my whole life learning to paint like a child." ”
Every child is a natural artist, maybe we can't understand the child's painting, but we can listen to the child's painting with our hearts, feel the child's graffiti, and use the right encouragement to care for the child's painting talent and protect their imagination and creativity.
