For younger children, such as children under 8 years old, gouache mainly cultivates their observation ability, hand-eye coordination ability and color perception ability.

At this stage, children mainly imitate and learn the skills and expression methods of gouache by observing and copying the teacher's works. At the same time, children should also play freely in a safe environment and try to express their thoughts and feelings in their own way.

For older children, such as junior high school students and senior high school students, learning gouache should not only continue to cultivate their observation ability, hand-eye coordination ability and color perception ability, but also focus on cultivating their creativity and independent thinking ability.

At this stage, children should pay more attention to the understanding and learning of color theory knowledge, including color collocation, contrast and harmony. At the same time, children should also try to express their feelings and thoughts in their own way through gouache painting, and show their personality and style.

In addition, for children with different personalities and interests, the purpose and methods of learning gouache should also be different. Some children may pay more attention to details and realism, and like to express their feelings with delicate brushstrokes; Some children may pay more attention to expression and abstraction, and like to express their ideas in a more free and exaggerated way.

Therefore, parents and teachers should fully consider children's interests and characteristics when guiding them to learn gouache, and don't force them to pursue styles and expressions they don't like.

In short, gouache painting is a very free way of painting, suitable for people of all ages to learn. Children of different ages should have different purposes and methods when learning gouache.

Parents and teachers should guide children to learn gouache according to their interests and characteristics, so that they can give full play to their creativity and imagination in their studies.
