Why do you say that children's paintings are not for seeing, but for listening?

Children's paintings are not for "seeing", but for "listening". Children's painting is something that can only be understood after listening.

The children draw their own pictures.

Judging from the law of people's psychological development, children's painting can be roughly divided into four periods: graffiti period, symbol period (also called representation symbol period), subjective feeling performance period and visual realism period.

To do:

Graffiti period: about 18 months to 3 years old (graffiti at will, feel the satisfaction and happiness brought by the traces left on the paper through the movement of hands).

Children in this period like to smear, and the "works" written have no specific image, only various lines on the paper. Some parents think that children are doodling at will, but this is actually the true embodiment of children's painting at this stage. It is a good phenomenon to draw by hand.

Let the baby play freely and paint boldly.

Use a variety of painting forms to stimulate the baby's interest.

Parents should encourage, inspire and praise their children's graffiti paintings.

Symbolic period: 3 to 5 years old (also called symbolic period. Children can further control the movements of their hands, and the drawn images seem to explain something. )

Children in this period can create their own graphic symbols and start naming them. When adults ask, "What is this painting?" At this time, he or she will give his or her painting a name. For example, this is my mom and dad, and this is my goldfish, lion and so on. Sometimes he (she) looks at his painting and talks to himself.

For children in the symbolic period, it doesn't matter whether they can draw a decent picture or not. It is important to see if children can explain their own works, and whether they can explain their paintings as completely, meticulously and even wordily as possible.

Listen carefully to the children telling the stories behind their paintings.

Guide children to observe the details of things and the relationship between parts.

▲ "I go out to play with my father". If there is no name, you may not be able to see what the child draws.

Subjective feeling performance period: 5 to 9 years old (it is the most active period of children's thinking and the most creative period of children's painting. )

They can express their ideas, gradually have a clear understanding of modeling, and have a clear realistic tendency. Young people can draw what they think, while old people can draw what they see. The observation was further strengthened and the details were described. After the age of 6, children can also write down what they have seen and heard as a whole, and can summarize and reorganize what they have seen and heard from their memories.

Protect children's curiosity and make them closer to nature.
