As a fashion designer's mother, I will cherish such a wonderful parent-child time, holding my familiar brush and accompanying my children to touch the colors of the world.
Since my child was two and a half years old, I have always accompanied Yu Shan to doodle and do handicrafts. It is precisely because of this kind of painting enlightenment that children have shown a strong interest in colors and patterns since childhood, and they like to doodle with oil pastels or watercolor pens.
From painting a line of graffiti, to painting red, to free play, the little guy is very serious! In her eyes, trees can be purple, red or orange.
Interest is the best teacher and a great motivation for children to learn and grow. Interest can satisfy children's endless curiosity and thirst for knowledge, and give full play to children's creativity, imagination, aesthetic ability and ability to use their hands and brains.
Seeing that the child likes painting so much, I bought her all kinds of books, markers and crayons. Later, we also bought a small easel and drawing board for Yushan. With so many painting tools, the little guy draws more happily!
On her birthday, we made a cake with her. Make a cake with a moon cake box and foam board in Mid-Autumn Festival, decorate it with small buttons and mushroom nails, and then make birthday candles with straws and plasticine. After eating a birthday cake, the little guy made a decent wish!
When we go out for a picnic in spring, we will take sketchbooks and sketch in the countryside. A drawing board, a brush and an ordinary piece of paper meet a kind of elegant beauty and draw the most beautiful spring scenery.
In kindergarten, the school held a charity sale. We encouraged her to think independently and design posters. If she doesn't know anything, she can ask her mother. Finally, it took her six or seven hours to finish her work with a piece of 4K paper. In painting, whether it is composition, coloring or decoration, it is a process in which children express beauty.
In our spare time, we will take Yushan to see art exhibitions and design exhibitions. Why take the children to the art exhibition? Can such a young child understand the painter's works? If painting gives children another way to express themselves, then viewing exhibitions gives children another way to appreciate the world.
In the art exhibition, we can see how people live in all corners of the world; We can see that the same theme can be presented so much at different times and brushes; We can see that artists never stop exploring and pursuing in life and aesthetics; We can communicate with the painter's mind with our own eyes.
Bringing children into art galleries is not just for visual enjoyment, but for the so-called traditional "cultivating sentiment". We hope that children will open a door to freedom and infinity in their future lives, and that they will be close to art and know that the world is still invisible to them.
Reading is a wonderful thing, and we will take Zheng Yushan to the library on weekends. Reading, reading is not only words, but also a kind of mentality and accomplishment. Through learning and aesthetic education, we can sow beautiful seeds in children's hearts and improve their feelings of natural beauty, social life beauty and artistic beauty. Open the window, find beauty, and express beauty with a brush.
Create a beautiful environment for children and give them the most beautiful edification. The more you listen, the more you watch, and the more colorful you express. When reading picture books, appreciating paintings and visiting exhibitions become a habit, natural children will draw their inner feelings.
After entering primary school, we encouraged Yu Shan to take an active part in all kinds of painting competitions, and tap her creativity and creative inspiration in the competitions.
As soon as they entered the school, the children participated in the 2020 Youth Environmental Painting Competition held by Hangzhou West Expo, and won the first prize. This 4K job is a big project. I spent nine hours looking for materials to explain my ideas, and then sketched, ticked and colored them. Painting is never a simple matter. Painting can make children more patient and know how to persist!
After that, Yu Shan participated in the "My Asian Games Dream" painting contest jointly organized by the Hangzhou Asian Games Organizing Committee, Hangzhou Daily Group and Hangzhou Youth Activity Center, and won the third prize. It is not easy to get deuex from 2300 entries, and the back of each entry is drawn by children with pen and ink.
During the New Year's Day, children participated in the painting contest of "Colorful World of Art Life" held by the school, and their works won the first prize.
In fact, no matter how far children can go on the road of painting, as a mother, I should give my children more opportunities to try.
Painting is not to train painters, but to let children show their nature, exert their imagination and express themselves freely. Therefore, letting children participate in the painting competition is not only a consideration of the level of painting, but also to let children put their thoughts and emotions into their creation.
In the years of growing up
I want to have a brush with me.
Accompany children to touch the colors of the world.
