How can parents correctly guide children aged 0-6 to draw? Children aged 0-6 years old show different artistic expression characteristics due to differences in cognitive development. To teach children aged 0-6 to draw, you must first recognize their development characteristics. As children grow up, they will go through three stages: graffiti, symbols, pictures, and realism. These three stages are critical periods for the development of children's art, imagination and creativity. So, how do parents guide their children aged 0-6 to draw correctly?
1. 1-3 years old, graffiti stage, the main expression form starts from 1 year old, and children can graffiti quietly. By age 2, scribbling becomes increasingly more controllable. They will use their hands to create "works" in continuous operations. The brush tool is stained with a little color paste. The next time I brush it, the color becomes darker. If I apply too much force, it will tear the paper. If I apply it lightly, it will become lighter.
Doodles for 2-year-olds allow children to realize the harmonious movements of their hands, elbows and shoulders to create a variety of different doodles. Children today, what they do is very abstract. To protect children's imagination, you must pay attention to the entire process of children's graffiti, be vigilant about graffiti behavior, and do not post casually. In the children's graffiti stage, continuous experimentation and exploration are the greatest achievements for children. All actions must be carried out publicly, and children cannot be allowed to write some unusual works, nor can they be allowed to imitate them. This will inhibit children's imagination and creativity.
Two, 3 to 5 years old, in the marking stage, boldly use marks to express imagination. 3 and 4-year-old children can no longer be satisfied with simple graffiti. They will mutter to themselves while writing, and also Name the characters in your books or artwork. This kind of "named graffiti" means that children have entered the representative stage from the graffiti stage, and they use marks to express their imagination and creativity.
Once, my child was painting, and I noticed that when the child painted, he would name the painting according to his own work. That photo looked like an airport for one moment and a cactus for another. He will incorporate his personal experience and opinions into this painting. Piaget said: Graffiti in the representative stage are different from graffiti in the graffiti period. Graffiti in the graffiti stage is more about healthy physical activities and the cooperation of hands and brain; while in the representative stage, the lines and colors in the paintings are no longer simple gestures, but mainly express something. , the harmony and unity of the human brain and eyes is a reflection of the child's development.
3. 5-7 years old, the graphic stage, especially from about 4 years old, children's artistic creation will obviously become more complicated, and the details will look richer. In the labeling stage, children must explain to us so that we can understand their drawings, while in the figure stage, children do not need to explain and we can only see their foreheads with our eyes. "Architecture" refers to special aspects and design styles. As children's hands and eyes develop better coordination, they can use more tools. We can provide staplers, hole punches, etc. for children. They will also be more proficient with scissors.
We can also provide bubble clay and clay so that children can make three-dimensional statues. This helps children express the knowledge they have learned in their own form, thereby increasing their understanding of space and thinking, thereby enriching their imagination and language skills. Every child is born a master of art. Before the age of 6, we don’t need to teach children to draw, because children enter the realistic stage at the age of 7. After the age of 7, writing begins from the stage of memory and imagination. Outline the stages of course. And if a child can successfully develop before the age of 6, have complete sensory experience, and obtain the support of free graffiti, then we will see a love for expression, as well as a love for imagination, creativity and inspiration. A tenacious and happy child.
