Recently, a father was furious that his child's chicken drawing at school was rated as "failing". He posted a photo of a real chicken and asked the teacher: Isn't the painting similar enough? This incident has aroused widespread attention, let's explore the relationship between children's creativity and evaluation criteria.
Recently, a father who was angry that his child's painting of chickens at school was rated as "failing" posted photos of real chickens on social media and asked the teacher: "Isn't the painting similar enough?" This incident quickly sparked heated discussions and attention among netizens.
It is understood that the child drew a chicken in school art class, but the teacher gave him a failing grade. The child's father was very dissatisfied when he saw this painting, and he thought that although the child's painting was a little immature, it was full of innocence and creativity. So, he decided to post a photo of a real chicken to refute the teacher's evaluation.
This incident sparked a heated discussion among netizens. Some netizens supported the father's approach, believing that children's creativity and imagination should be respected and encouraged, rather than simply judging the quality of paintings by their likeness. They believe that it is very important that the child's drawing, although not perfect, expresses his thoughts and feelings.
However, there are also some netizens who disagree. They believe that art classes should have certain evaluation criteria, and whether the image should be one of the important aspects. If a child's painting can't even make a basic resemblance, then it can't be considered a good work. They believe that the father's approach may lead to the misconception that the child can just have fun painting and that there is no need to pursue a higher level of art.
I think we need to think about this incident from multiple angles. First of all, we should respect children's creativity and imagination and encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings bravely. This is an important aspect of nurturing children's creativity and artistic literacy. Secondly, we also need to recognize that art classes do need to have certain evaluation standards, which can help children improve their drawing skills and aesthetic ability. However, the evaluation criteria should not be too single and rigid, and should focus on the children's personality and characteristics, and encourage them to give full play to their strengths and specialties in painting.
At the same time, we should also note that this incident reflects the problems of some parents and educators in art education. Some parents may focus too much on their children's grades and performance to the detriment of their interests and creativity; Some educators may place too much emphasis on skills and likeness, and neglect children's artistic sensibilities and expressive abilities. Therefore, we need to strengthen the popularization and publicity of art education, so that more parents and educators can understand the importance and significance of art education, so as to better support and guide children's development.
In short, this incident of a father posting a photo of a real chicken to support his child has aroused our attention and thinking about art education. We should respect children's creativity and imagination, but also focus on cultivating their drawing skills and aesthetic ability. Only in this way can we truly cultivate a new generation of young people who are creative and artistic.
