Teaching children to drawing promotes the development of intelligence and aesthetic taste, affect attention, memory, form the ability to see all facets of the surrounding world.

According to psychologists, drawing is a manifestation of the child's inner world. Children's fears are manifested in black, relations in the family - the arrangement of figures on a sheet. If parents want to know their child better, they should teach him how to draw.

How can you teach a child to draw? There is no ready answer to this question. This process is individual and creative. It is advisable to start teaching children drawing from two to three years. Only it is necessary to take into account the features of this age:

1. Children can not yet properly hold pencils and brushes in their hands. It is necessary to show a little patience and for some time to follow the little artist, adjusting his hand.

2. Drawings usually get disproportionate. This is due to the fact that the child has not yet formed an idea of the volume. By depicting objects as large, but as small ones, the children show their significance for themselves.

3. The use of colors also has features. Blue leaves and yellow clouds are not manifestations of color blindness, but an attempt to convey the characteristic features of an object. Sometimes paint is used only because she likes it.

4. Children at the age of two or three years often do not distinguish between the top and bottom of the picture, its right and left parts.

Given these age features, parents can instill a child's love of painting and develop his creative independence and activity.

It will be very good if the drawing classes acquire their own unique entourage. Know how to make - make a small easel and play with the child in the artist.

In addition to felt-tip pens and paints, colorful wax crayons and pastels are suitable for teaching children to paint. They are very soft and leave wide lines on the sheet. This is usually very popular with children.

Do not scold him for stained clothes or spoiled furniture. Do not give the child paint, which you can draw with your fingers. Despite all the assurances of teachers, this method is similar to a game of give-away. You just pause the moment when you have to learn how to properly hold a brush or pencil in your hands.

From children's drawings you can make an album. The main thing, do not forget to sign the date. And then you can see how the kid is mastering the art of drawing.

Drawing, children study this world, try to express their thoughts and feelings on paper. A child's drawing is a conversation between a child and the world, and the main task of adults is to make it easy and enjoyable.
