If your child tells you "I don't like painting", "I don't want to learn", "I can't paint" and so on, show negative painting psychology. There must be a reason. Because, in a sense, there are no children who don't like painting, no children who are not confident, and no children who don't want to paint. It must be something that prevents children from expressing their inner feelings in this spiritual language, and it must be something that hinders children's hearts and blinds their immature hearts. There is no child who doesn't like painting.
Children's painting is not only a simple artistic activity, but also a way for children to know the world and express their feelings. In the process of painting, children learn their own expressions and create and enjoy a sense of accomplishment in communication with others, which is the natural way for every child to grow up.
Ron Feeder, a famous American children's art educator, said: "Children who say I can't draw have been suppressed from their natural creativity." In children's art activities, first of all, children are willing to actively show their skills, rather than passively accept them. It is important to guide them to observe life, experience the rich changes of lines and colors in life, and arouse the association of vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste. They should be encouraged to explore and create from the most immature expression, rather than rushing to draw a "good work", not to mention belittling children's naive, "unreasonable" and dreamy expression with the objective and scientific thinking mode of adults.
Second, the reasons that hinder the mind are generally as follows:
1, suffering from stick figure or model painting.
I have been coached by conceptual modeling phenomena: for example, a tree is composed of a circle and a straight line, and the house has a triangular roof and a square wall with a chimney and a sun hanging in the upper left corner, or it was painted for children before the real time, which directly gave the "result" to the children and ignored their cognitive process. When children draw, they stop observing, thinking, imagining, expressing, observing and creating. But mechanically repeat the "results" given by adults. This kind of painting can easily make children lose interest and hobby in painting. What's the point of painting again? And many children will lose the fun and interest in painting because they don't like it. This way, whether from the process or the result of painting, will directly hurt children's self-confidence and hinder their immature hearts, and this is the harm of stick figure and model painting to children!
2. Being taught modeling
Painting is to use your hands freely according to your own will, and at the same time, it also cultivates your "labor" and "work" hands. Once the shape is taught, children can't discover the colorful world through free play and show the fun of this discovery, such as how to move their hands. What kind of lines are used to represent it? If there is no fun, the function of the hand will be reduced. Furthermore, teaching children to draw shapes is tantamount to imposing the feelings of other adults on them intact, so that children can't function according to their own feelings, which may dull their feelings.
3. Often criticized for poor painting.
Often criticized for poor painting, or often compared with other children's works, or often not criticized for painting is not like; It's like an adult password. Children have different inner feelings and imaginations about the same thing. Children who have been under the guidance of painting for a long time will gradually lose themselves, their imagination, their creativity and finally their interest in painting.
4. Children's works are often evaluated by "beautiful painting, rich colors and beautiful lines".
Painting is the expression of children's inner feelings. Different children have different forms of expression. Whether it looks good or not, it's just that adults can tell their children that painting is good and mom likes it.
5. Shadows caused by environmental materials.
Children are often accused or complained of polluting the environment, soiling clothes or wasting painting materials to prevent them from painting.
Third, parents, you should have some knowledge of art education.
1, don't take "the image of painting" as the criterion;
2. Don't take "beautiful painting, rich colors and beautiful lines" as the standard. Painting is the expression of a child's heart. Different children have different forms of expression. Whether it looks good or not is just an adult's own opinion.
3. Don't teach children to draw stick figures; The teaching of stick figure is comfortable for children's free expression, which fetters children's thoughts and imagination and creativity. Teaching stick figure is a taboo for parents and teachers.
4. Don't always feel that children's clothes are dirty and their hands are small; Constantly remind children to pay attention to the cleanliness of their hands and environment, so that children can't concentrate or give up painting for fear of criticism;
5. Don't compete with other children. "Look, how colorful people are!" "Look, how fast people draw!" And so on are taboo;
6. Don't always say in front of the children, "Look at you, I have finished painting this and I want to buy it for you again." "These materials are really expensive!" Wait a minute.
7. When children show their works to their parents, they don't want to praise them happily, and they always repeat things like "Don't be proud";
8. When children want to participate in various painting activities, don't refuse for various reasons.
9. Send children to learn skills and learn adult painting too early;
10, dealing with children's favorite works without authorization; If you choose "Yes" unfortunately, then you really have to "make up lessons" for children's paintings.
1 1. Don't draw pictures for children. Some parents hand in painting homework for their children in order to win an award in the class. This is pathetic. First, destroy children's self-confidence in painting. Children will think that my mother dislikes my poor painting and says,' I paint badly'. Family affirmation is the most important magic weapon for children's confidence. If you throw it away like this, children will gradually lose confidence in painting and lose interest. Second, guide children to practise fraud and say,' You can get praise and reward by what others have done'. In this way, children will not study hard, because everyone is willing to take the "shortcut".
12, don't keep commenting when children are drawing.
Fourth, parents, what should you do?
If your child is suffering from the negative factors mentioned above, please find ways to prevent these injuries or obstacles to your child. If your child is hurt or hindered by these behaviors, he has lost interest in painting or lost confidence. Try the following:
1. If the above behavior is caused by your parents, please sincerely apologize to your children and tell them your future practices and behaviors. If it is not you, please make your attitude clear to your parents. If it is someone else, please communicate with others in private, stop this harmful behavior, and then continue to the second article.
2. Tell your child how much you like painting, how much you like the paintings and art works that your child has painted before, and hope that your child can continue, encourage and recognize your child from language, and support your child from action.
3. Take children to visit various art exhibitions, take children to appreciate the painting process and paintings of other children, send their works to competitions, and make their works into desk calendars, mugs or T-shirts. It is a great encouragement to children's self-confidence and a great stimulation to children's interest in painting.
4. Take children to nature, stimulate their love for art in various ways, and make works of art with children in various materials, such as grass, branches, leaves, stones and so on. When children like these, they can bring some painting materials, so that children can freely express themselves with brushes or other forms after being bathed and baptized by nature.
5. If your child has received conceptual modeling, model painting, or been taught shapes, then it is necessary to use other things with the same shape to guide painting, so that children can gradually fade and break the impression of fixed objects with the same shape, and it is necessary to use different shapes or expressions of the same thing to guide children to forget and break the fixed shapes or expressions of the same thing, thus opening up children's intrinsic motivation and re-stimulating their artistic expression ability and imagination.
6. Let children participate in art activities and painting games; Playing is a child's nature. If art activities and games can be skillfully combined, which child will refuse? For children, seemingly random painting, the free rolling of color marks and the use of unexpected tools are not only the release of happiness, but also the enlightenment of artistic beauty and inspiration, the stimulation of artistic interest and the guidance of artistic creation. The greatest interest of children's painting lies not in how well they draw, but in seeking to be different. Situational games and natural sketches can easily make children have a relaxed and happy game psychology, so they are willing to participate. Painting is like a game. When you play, you will have a deep feeling, you can express your wishes more easily and boldly, and promote the development of children's thinking.
7. Draw with other children. People themselves have the characteristics of group sociality, and children are no exception. When people in an environment are engaged in an activity, new members will naturally integrate into the activity and have fun in group activities. It's like, everyone is drawing and I'm drawing. At home, children are all alone and there is no group environment. I think parents should understand that it is not easy for children to have a long-term interest in painting and stick to it for a long time.
