With the development and progress of society, parents nowadays pay more and more attention to the artistic cultivation of their children.
Learning to draw is not only learning a kind of drawing skills learning to draw brings us more of the following five abilities!
1. Imagination
When we draw, we can draw imaginary objects as we like and without restriction.
In contemporary art, we don't have to care whether the proportions are right or not, or whether the drawing looks like it is right or not.
For example, a character's head can be square, triangular, or any other shape.
2. Aesthetic ability
Before being exposed to painting, people are almost oblivious to the bottles, cans, and other household items that are otherwise common in life.
But when you create passionately on the canvas every day, you will find the beauty that was originally ignored in your daily life.
Aesthetic taste is cultivated by the living environment and artistic cultivation of children from childhood.
A person who grows up loving art and painting, and a child who grows up only watching TV and playing games will have a very big difference in their temperament when they grow up.
3. Observation
One of the most important characteristics that painting exercises is the ability to observe.
Whether you are faced with a still life, a figure, or a landscape, you can find the most beautiful part of this picture and those fascinating details that are not easy to find through your observation.
People who learn to paint don't see the world from the same perspective as those who don't.
People who draw pay more attention to the details and texture of a thing, and are better able to observe and appreciate the beauty of the world.
4. Memory
The purpose of observation is to accumulate, and human wisdom is the result of continuous accumulation of knowledge.
The language of painting is image, and the accumulation of images also relies on memory.
When drawing dance sketches, the movements of dancers are so rapid, that only relying on the eyes to see is no way to write, one must rely on the brain's memory to draw.
In addition, there are a lot of non-sketching creative works, but also need to create and draw based on usual memory.
5. Perception
Why is it that when faced with the same scenery, 100 artists can paint in a hundred different styles?
Why do you feel cold and depressed when you see blue, but warm and enthusiastic when you see orange?
The reason lies in the artist's extremely sensitive feelings exercised in the usual painting practice and can express their feelings in their way.
Apart from that, drawing develops one's thinking skills, generalization skills, and so on, so try to get your kids to learn to draw!
