Why
drawing is important for kids
Drawing for Kids is
so necessary. It's something they love thoroughly, from drawing a stick figure
to putting splashes of color from the paint on their fingertips, and that
should always be welcomed.
The
question now is—why?
Science
demonstrates that drawing for kids is an important part of the growth of an infant.
Margaret Brooks describes how "[children] are not only able to see what
they think through drawing, they are also able to play with and transform their
ideas" (p.319)
So,
what is this supposed to mean? This means that, for many reasons, your child
can draw.
- It improves their creativity. Imagination
is SUCH a vital aspect of the development of a child—when they visualize,
they are able to create their own scenarios and pretend to play, becoming
more autonomous and advanced. We should also promote imagination, since it
is a demonstration of freedom of speech and creativity that every child
should be able to have two major components.
- It is an excellent way of
expressing emotion. It's just too common nowadays that people feel they
have to hide from their thoughts, or they don't know ways to spend their
time. Drawing is a passion and a hobby that can be a constructive outlet.
The colors they use and the objects they draw are a perfect way for
children to explain how they feel, and can make it easier to convey their
feelings later in life.
- Their cognitive mechanisms
improve. Cognition means, by thought, experience, and the senses, gaining
awareness and understanding. Easy Landscape Drawing implies that they think or experience
something constantly, because what they want to draw, the patterns they
use, and the narrative they strive to depict allows them to improve their
awareness and visual skills.
- Their fine motor and
coordination skills are also growing. In small closed environments, they
will get to learn how to use a pencil and/or crayons properly and how to
draw. This is really important because properly handling a pencil is a
major step in the later stuff they experience in life, and it also
influences handwriting.
- They will accept inventiveness and trust. Giving your child the freedom to draw ensures that whatever they want, they can make. What they draw helps you to see what is going on in their minds, and allows them to flourish in their originality and individuality as well. In order to feel good about their job and to be more positive in themselves, you should always show satisfaction or ask questions about what they draw.
