I often hear parents say that they can't understand their children's drawing lines, shapes, colors and some inexplicable things, as an adult, they are completely confused and how to chat with children who love to draw
Mo Urgent, Mo Urgent Today we will share 3 ways to teach you to understand the painting of human cubs

Rejuvenation – seeing their world through their eyes – when we look at a child's paintings, the first feeling is often messy and inexplicable. That's because as adults, we already have a clear understanding and clear definition of things, and to a certain extent, we always carry a stereotypical and established thinking.

Children are very different. They are also in the stage of cognition and exploration, unbound and unbound. So they are often able to do whatever they want. In the eyes of adults, they do not play cards according to common sense, and their imagination is extremely rich.
Therefore, when we face the child's painting, we may wish to return to the child's mentality, and observe and understand those things that seem to be "not like" and "not good" from the child's point of view.
For example, when children draw people, people will be taller than trees, or even larger than houses, because from their point of view, parents are very tall images.
Let the children draw nature, they can outline the details that we can't see, because their attention is not limited to the red flowers and green leaves. Even if it is the same thing, the child will change the size, shape, color according to his own feelings...

If we only look at it by adult standards, we will ignore the things that the child actually wants to express, and even stifle the child's perception and creativity of things. When we try to "rejuvenate" and follow them to let their imaginations run wild, we may be able to read their minds.

The method of listening to stories – occasionally being a curious baby of a child – really can't understand a child's drawings, and the most direct way is to let the child say "draw". Painting is one of the ways children express, no matter how abstract the picture is, each child's painting has its own idea, there is something they want to express. "Because they (children) have not undergone a long period of modeling training, they will use more conceptual techniques to express, but also more exaggerated, which is their painting language at that stage, and it is also the reason why many parents can't understand their children's paintings."

At this time, parents should not turn into curious babies, guide children to tell the stories in their own pictures, and listen patiently. Maybe the child's story is not logical, but it must be related to what they have seen and heard, and parents can understand the child's various senses and perceptions from it, and feel the child's innocence and creativity.
"Kiwi on the Table"
Under the brush of a child, the world is full of possibilities. In the process of listening, parents can follow their children's stories to "roam the wonderland" and express their own views, which is also a good parent-child interaction.

Careful observation method - learn to appreciate the elements commonly used by children - when children draw, parents must have found that when children like something, he will keep drawing and drawing repeatedly. At this time, it is inevitable that some parents will feel worried, the child will only have one thing, is the thinking limited, the idea is single, what to do? In the face of this situation, in fact, parents do not have to rush to let their children draw new things, we can first patiently observe the child to see his state and changes when he "indulges" in a thing.
For example, the child only loves to draw cars, but he draws many different types and forms of cars: trains, fire trucks, buses, and so on. Children are using what they like to explore and recognize the world, gaining joy in creation and cultivating concentration.
A large whale made from idle car toys is exhibited at the exhibition, calling for environmental protection.
Instead of worrying, it is better to change your mindset and look at the things that these children draw because they like with an appreciative eye. When parents show respect and approval, children can also get encouragement and build self-confidence. Of course, parents can also take their children to nature in their spare time, to the art museum to recognize and explore new things, children are the stage of active thinking, encourage them to observe more and feel more, and use new things to inspire them.
From the child's painting, we can feel that the child knows more about perception and expression than we think. As long as children like it, as they get older, they will be able to create "good looking" and "like" in the standard sense. But childlike and clumsy creations are perhaps the most valuable places in artistic creation. Looking at the child's paintings, we can be a little willful, a little more relaxed, a little patient. Reading the stories in children's paintings is also one of the easiest ways for us to enter the world of children.
