Instructions
Step 1
Provide free access for the child to pencils, paper. Look for pencils specially made for kids' little fingers (triangular) that are bright and not very hard.
Step 2
Be sure to draw with your child and even yourself, just like that, when you want to relax. Remember, your example is contagious!
Step 3
Never criticize or correct a child's drawing. Even if he himself critically evaluates his work and is not happy with what happened, support him, say that he studies, trains, and soon he will do better and better. But do not bother him to do whatever he wants with his work - to fix it or break it.
Step 4
Develop your child's perception. Even if you are not an artist or a teacher, teach your child to look for different forms in the surrounding objects, to analyze them. Learn colors, draw the child's attention to the surrounding shades. So you improve the work of the visual analyzer, and also teach you to carefully evaluate objects, which is important when learning to draw.
Step 5
Get acquainted with drawing books for children yourself, they often show how to draw fruits, berries, animals, you can then use these tips when the child grows up.
Step 6
Conduct your "lessons" of drawing so that the child does not get bored, do not dwell only on the forms and rules. While he is small, it is better to instill an interest and love for drawing as a way of self-expression. Therefore, use different techniques: monotype - blot prints, "thread-writing" (prints of thick and textured threads moistened with paint, sandwiched between two sheets and specially stretched from there), spraying technique. These and other techniques do not require special artistic skills and allow you to finish painting the resulting abstract color spots, to deduce images from them, which develops the child's imagination and gives positive emotions.
Step 7
Use plasticine or salted dough to learn to sculpt. Do not wait for quick results, because the sculpting process itself is more interesting and useful for the child, so wrinkle the dough and plasticine, tear into pieces, pull, flatten, squeeze, roll sausages and berry beads. If you are sculpting from edible dough, then bake the resulting products - the child will be proud of his creations, and this is important.
Teach your child to roll simple shapes, control the pressure of fingers and palms. When he can sculpt berries and fruits on the base of the balls, put them in stuck together plates. Try to make bagels, snakes, worms from sausages, flatten the material into leaves.
Step 8
Move on to more complex forms only when the child learns to cope with simple ones.
