Lin Qianling, curator of Su He Children's Art Museum: Learning to draw begins with opening your eyes.

How often does your child watch the sunset? How long does it take to experience the majestic waves? The best visual art education should start with opening your eyes. ...

No matter adults or children, as long as they visit Su He Children's Art Museum, they should draw a picture containing houses, flowers, grass, mountains, bicycles and so on. Before the official visit. According to our statistics, more than 80% of visitors, as long as they paint houses, are almost all thatched cottages with triangular roofs; When you draw flowers, you always draw five petals and two leaves. Even adults who often think that children can't draw well.

According to research, everyone actually has artistic talent, especially at the age of five, when he reached the peak of his original ability and was at the same height as an artist. From the age of six to eleven, children enter the primary school stage, and because of the unbalanced two-way development of visual growth cognition and painting technical expression ability, children feel the most difficult period of painting, which leads to strong self-criticism.

At this time, if the child is not correctly guided by aesthetic elements, but only asks for "painting like", it will not only make the child suffer, but also make the child's creativity stay at the bottom of the U-shape, which will suppress the child's confidence in artistic development.

Introspection of art teachers is very important. Some teachers who "teach too much" will use the whole picture to demonstrate and control. For example, he brought pictures of children. Every butterfly in the picture flies in the same direction, and there are several small white flowers under each butterfly. This can prove that the teacher painted like this during the demonstration, so the whole class painted like this. The painting is very similar and very good, but it causes children to rely on it.

Another kind of teacher is "insufficient". Without all kinds of specific guidance, the child can really "see" the butterfly, so that the child can't see it for a long time, or even draw a dead bow, and his observation power is not turned on at all. The teacher's reason is to let children play freely. In the creation class of fine arts, we should teach aesthetic topics specially, but we can't directly show our creation.
