Painting, drawing,
sculpture, miniature, wood art, sand art or art of any kind are all the different
forms through which people express their creativity and thought. There are
various reasons for which people create art, like for personal expression,
public exhibition, or for earning. All these reasons are for getting back
something either name, fame or money, what people want from their creation of
art. But, here we are discussing about the children
drawing. But now the question arises why should children learn
to draw, especially at a time when the attention and focus of most of the educators
is moving back to the basics – reading, writing, and math? Everyone will say
that art helps children show their hidden ability and develop their special
talent. Many parents think that painting and drawing is a wasteful and time
taking activity, and instead of it children should give their time to studies
of other subjects, like language, science and math, etc. But this is a wrong
way of thinking. There are other benefits
in drawing and painting besides, just revealing the inner hidden ability. There
are two chief reasons why children’s should be encouraged to draw
and paint.
The very first reason why
children should be encouraged to draw
and paint is that art helps children discover the joy of creating. In this
age of technology most of the children spend plenty of their time surfing
internet, playing online games, watching television or in video games. Their inclination
is just to sit and watch. Whereas God has created us to create, and in the
today’s environment, especially, young people require good opportunities to bring
their imaginations
live. And no other mean will be better than to art to make this possible.
Secondly, when you encourage your
children learn
to draw, you are help him develop his or her self-esteem and
self-confidence. It is a great feeling for a child when he says “See, what I
have created” or “I can draw many more things you can never imagine.” Children
have a sense of achievement when they see back at what they could create and paint.
Now when you have understood the
value of art education you might be thinking, how can I get my children learn art?
The obvious answer is teaching the art lessons, Hands
on art, the
art of colorama, Easy
draw, can help you out.
