grandparents, parents often ask me why I don't buy razukrashki your kids?
Why not learn to draw them on the model, because I am good at drawing?
Why I forbid you to evaluate and compare the children's drawings or admire something for their taste looks very "childish"?
Why I don't like the drawings but the drawing, although it "improves" the picture?
Why I do not teach the child that the sky is blue and the sun yellow?
Why I'm not a child development????
Yes, because for me the development of a child is not about to learn the colors, it's not about trained to draw the human ear and five fingers (a favorite test of educational psychologists on school readiness). No.
the Development in painting for me is the subtlety in the distinction of color in the discernment of shades, which can only come through feeling these colors, using "accommodation" to them, is the ability to Express themselves and their attitude, it is an opportunity to listen to yourself and your state, and connect it to the paper.
I really appreciate it when children draw. For me it is very important that drawing was not just understandable, but to take the child to convey his inner vision, of his state, poured on a leaf joys and sorrows.
drawing is a spontaneous drawing comes from the heart, from the soul of the artist. This is a manifestation of his inner self, his attitude, his sense of self in the moment. And for me the picture is what is important. The ability to copy, and the ability to create!
And in the work there is no place for comparison and evaluation. Compare van Gogh and Dali, who draws better?)) For example, the great us clearly how absurd this question and how absurd the comparison is. Comparison kills creativity. Ask any of the adults around you to draw, for example, a spring. What you will hear? In 90% of cases you will hear, I can't draw. And here it is "I cannot draw" from childhood. From childhood, when someone was not appreciated or evaluated negatively when someone laughed when someone failed to compare or just altered the picture, making it clear that the picture so –so, needs ispravlenie and adjustments.
If you want to draw and create is not tapped, it can become a huge resource in life. Because through painting, we can feel and Express yourself bodily and emotionally.
So I just sit down with your child and just draw. We mix colors and blot, put them on paper, we draw the lines are smooth and ragged and sharp, and set the points and make prints. We can paint the sky blue, blue, red or black - whatever you like, and we both understand that at the moment it is like this, and no other.
In the blog I posted excerpts from the article Waldorf art therapist A. Colica about the dangers of games and the benefits of spontaneous drawing. Pry!
