① Pick-up time

In fact, the most expensive thing for children to attend painting classes is not tuition, but time.

Shuttle back and forth, at least 1 hour? If there is a traffic jam on the road, it may take 2 or 3 hours. Painting classes are held at least once a week 1 time, and each class lasts about 45 minutes-1 hour.

After class, I also spend a lot of time communicating with teachers and drawing with my children. ...

For painting class, time cost is an important factor that must be considered. Choosing a well-known institution may be far from home and waste too much time ... especially for children aged 6 or 7, the concentration time is very short, usually less than 20 minutes. A long journey will consume a lot of children's energy and make it more difficult for them to concentrate. When children arrive at the class place, they often have no energy to study.

But choosing a painting class close to home, these institutions are not necessarily particularly good, delaying children. So on balance, I chose painting.

One is that the online platform solves the problem of time and distance well, and the other is that children can enjoy the education of famous teachers online.

To tell the truth, instead of letting children run a long road of painting classes, it is really better to take them to visit art galleries and exhibitions to accumulate aesthetic experience, and then carefully select some high-quality creative art courses to inspire their imagination at home.

I'm afraid we should avoid all painting institutions that advocate turning children into prodigies and masters of art.

In my opinion, this class is generally eager for quick success and instant benefit. My child started painting at the age of four and a half, and formally learned painting at the age of five. After studying for two years, the biggest feeling is that there are too many things to teach in one class!

Sometimes you have to learn four or five knowledge points in two hours, and the teacher speaks very fast. Hurriedly finish this knowledge point, and then rush to explain the next one. After listening to several classes, I always have the illusion that I am in the Olympic math class.

Taking drawing Lala as an example, teachers set up a course training from easy to difficult according to the law of children's development. The first few classes mainly practice lines and figures to exercise children's modeling ability.

Now that children have mastered it, they can continue to study composition and spatial relationship in depth. This part is more difficult, so it is easier to learn if you have a foundation.

Under the patient guidance of the teacher, the children not only remembered the knowledge points, but also used them flexibly in their works!

Don't go without principles.

After signing up for painting, my sister saw that my child was doing well and wanted to enroll her daughter.

However, the teacher in charge of drawing lots and signing up is too stupid. "I don't make money": They asked the child in detail and found that the child was under 5 years old. They thought it was inappropriate and suggested not to come to class. My sister was a little angry at that time and felt that the teacher was inflexible.

Later, the teacher explained to her that the strength of children under 5 years old has not developed well, the line drawing is not smooth, and the graphics are not complete. In this case, children are likely to be hit by inefficient learning and lose interest in painting.

After listening to this, my sister and I felt very emotional: these teachers who felt "a little difficult" when they first came into contact are often good teachers with principles.

A good teacher with principles is so important that it not only helps children learn to draw better, but also exerts a subtle influence on children and makes them become better people.

So before signing up for class, I don't think we should be afraid of trouble. You can visit many times in advance, try to experience the class more, feel how the teacher is, and then decide whether to enroll in the class.

I don't know if you have a general idea after reading this article and what kind of painting class to choose.
