Evaluation criteria and several common comments of children's paintings

First, look at the childlike innocence of children's paintings. Real life has left many beautiful images in children's hearts, forming their unique experiences and feelings. They get a taste of life that adults can't experience. Children's paintings are always romantic and childish, so the evaluation of children's paintings can't be treated with the frame and requirements of adults. Only by knowing children and having a childlike innocence can we correctly evaluate children's paintings. Second, whether it better shows the aesthetic effect of the work. Children's painting elements such as lines, colors and images have their own characteristics. He also has his own aesthetic attitude towards the effect of painting. Whether the formal languages of different children's paintings are unified and whether they show unique visual effects. We can see the differences between different works through the aesthetic laws expressed by painting. For example, the composition, rhythm and pattern of color hinder children's independent observation and thinking, and hinder the development of their own painting language. The performance of works should be suitable for children's age, and harmonious growth is conducive to the improvement and development of children's painting level. The improvement of children's painting level is not only the improvement of painting skills. The overall ability of other aspects has not been improved, and the learning of skills will be limited, especially the level of creation is difficult to improve. From children's paintings, we can observe the strength of children's abilities such as insight, imagination, generalization, induction and analysis. The development of children's painting is its own all-round development. Third, see if children's paintings show children's interest. Painting has a strong appeal to children. When students fill in their hobbies, many fill in paintings. Since ancient times, children's paintings have attracted great interest and attention from philosophers, educators and psychologists. No matter how ridiculous and illogical children's paintings look in the eyes of adults, they are a true portrayal of children's hearts. Children's painting should be simple, naive and full of emotion, showing a strong and interesting life breath and children's nature, bold and reckless, which is completely different from adult painting. Children's paintings let us discover another wonderful world. We should look at children with appreciation and inspire them with a positive attitude. Appreciating and evaluating children's paintings correctly will be of great help to the development of children's paintings. Although children's painting belongs to the art category, it is a special painting form created by children, which is very different from adult art. Many adults don't understand the difference and can't grasp the evaluation standard and elevation of children's painting. Fourth, whether the work has a clear theme or plot. Many children's paintings have certain themes and plots. Children devote themselves to painting, constantly depicting their inner world, and painting becomes a mirror of children's mind. Such paintings can make children exercise in many aspects, such as psychology, emotion and intelligence. With a theme or plot, you need to have a strong imagination, image thinking ability and sensitivity to life, which is a high level of creative performance. Fifth, see if you have a rich imagination. Painting learning is an effective means to cultivate children's quality and can effectively promote children's intellectual development. Among them, the cultivation of imagination is the main aspect of children's painting learning, and it is also an essential ability for creative talents. In the process of painting, children can exercise and develop their imagination through such activities. Children's practice in the process of learning painting should also be viewed with appreciation to see whether they have met the requirements of learning, whether they have made bold attempts, and whether they have a good habit of seeking difference and innovation. Find good places and give positive comments, and the good parts should be specific; In the insufficient part, children should be advised to re-observe, think and try, instead of giving negative criticism in general. Sixth, whether the performance of the work is consistent with the age of the child. In many children's paintings, children of different ages have different painting performances. It is not very young children who can draw images drawn by adults, but the level is very high. Because the standard of painting level is not entirely based on who copied it. Children blindly copy the permission of adults and impose it on children's paintings, which violates the characteristics of children's paintings and is not conducive to the development of children's painting education. There are basically the following wrong criteria for adults to evaluate children's paintings: 1. Evaluate children's paintings with "image". When people praise a painting, they often use "It really looks like it!" Words like "just like the real thing" are considered as the highest praise for the painter. When many people see children's paintings, they are also judged by whether they are like or not. It is good to paint more like nature, but not so like nature. In fact, using "image" and "non-image" to evaluate the quality of a work is one-sided, and it is impossible to fully and deeply interpret the meaning of the work. For example, the works of "Cubism" and "Dadaism" in the West obviously cannot be evaluated by "image". 2. Evaluate whether children's paintings are reasonable or not. "Reasonable and unreasonable" refers to whether the things in children's paintings conform to objective reality and objective laws. Due to the lack of knowledge and experience, children's understanding level is not high, and what they describe is often inconsistent with objective reality. They will draw people's heads big, but their hands are small; People who go up the mountain are perpendicular to the slope of the mountain; People play with aliens in space; Gathering with animals in the forest ... trying to find unreasonable places in children's paintings, you can find them everywhere. So adults "enthusiastically" look for mistakes in children's paintings and explain what is reasonable and unreasonable in simple terms with their own knowledge and experience until children's paintings meet their own wishes. 3. One-sided evaluation of children's paintings with "clumsiness". The "clumsiness" in children's paintings is unintentional, because children's unconscious behavior is not mature physically and psychologically, or because they are limited by their own skills and cannot faithfully reproduce objective things, which is not the result of their intentional pursuit. With the growth of age, this "clumsy" taste will gradually disappear. The artist's "clumsiness" is a great skill that has been achieved through decades of pursuit and hard training, and there is an essential difference between the two. If you appreciate children's paintings because of this, it doesn't really matter. Even if you give a child a gold medal, he may even be confused. Such evaluation is still inseparable from the technical framework. Children don't have to be trained as great painters and masters to learn painting. For most children who study painting, the possibility of becoming a professional painter is very small, but the significance of learning painting to develop children's intelligence is far greater than learning painting itself. Scientific data show that children's early painting education can improve their IQ by 30%, and children's learning painting focuses on cultivating aesthetic taste, cultivating sentiment, beautifying personality and shaping a high-quality talent with creative thinking and character to adapt to social development. Children's painting education is not the education of cultivating professional painters, but the education of developing children's imagination, creativity, observation, memory, attention and expression in an all-round way. Focus on enlightening wisdom, not imparting skills. First, look at whether children's paintings have rich imagination; Second, see if the work has children's life interest; Third, whether children's painting has certain skills can be described as children's painting. When guiding children at ordinary times, we should focus on encouraging their imagination, originality and courage in painting, and at the same time pay attention to painting skills. All aspects of children are the harmonious unity of childlike innocence, liveliness, intelligence and innocence, which is the loveliness of children and the main characteristics of children. Children's painting is a kind of "childlike beauty" full of childlike interest. Children's paintings should never be evaluated by adults' eyes and requirements, which is the premise to guide children's painting creation. Therefore, before evaluating children's paintings, adults must establish a childlike view of children's art evaluation and have enough time to "read" and understand this painting. With the introduction of the new curriculum standards for children's painting, the evaluation methods are diversified. As for the evaluation of children's paintings, we mainly use the star evaluation in early childhood. After entering the primary school stage, on the basis of the current rating system, a "two-level" rating system for works was added. Among them, the grade is based on horizontal comparison, and it also acknowledges the expression differences between children, which conforms to the dialectical point of view; The star rating is mainly based on vertical (self) comparison, focusing on the evaluation of children's self-imagination and expressiveness, and the star rating is not affected by grades. Although it takes a long time to evaluate the works, the visual image of "Red Five Stars" has played a significant role in improving the overall quality of all children. Second, inspire children to imagine five "thoughts" (1) and think "wide". "Wide" is to open children's thinking and pay attention to divergent thinking. (2) The theme should be "new". Painting is art, and art has no vitality without creation. In the process of guiding children to paint, we should be good at guiding children to be "new" in performance and different from others (to avoid being the same as their previous performance). (3) the idea should be "wonderful". After the novel theme of children's painting is determined, it will be icing on the cake with wonderful creativity, like a duck to water. (4) The composition should be "clever". The ingenious composition of children's paintings can make a painting surprise and get twice the result with half the effort. For example, we can use linear, diagonal and arc composition from the inspiration of "line"; "X" shape, "C" shape, "Z" shape and "L" shape can all be adopted from the inspiration of letters; Semicircular, trapezoidal and circular composition can all be used from the enlightenment of "shape"; In addition, from different perspectives, such as looking up, looking down and looking up, let children think about the arrangement of the picture from the perspective of the viewer, and so on. These different forms of composition can make a very common theme show new ideas through the generalization of composition. (5) The proposition should be "interesting". Drawing a nice name for a child, just like a picturesque topic in a photographic work, can often play the role of making the finishing point. The proposition must be in children's language, and it is best to be childlike.
