Developing Kid's Drawing
Skills
Children are natural artist. Their expression in Art are usually uninhibited and free, without any
conceptual understanding of design, proportion and composition. Their works are often based
simply on their basic perception and ever - active imagination.
Training children to develop drawing skills is important. Without proper training and direction,
children tend to gradually lose the natural ability and confidence in Art as they mature and reach
adulthood. As we grow, our perception of objects and our environment are 'colored' by our
own unique experiences in life. We became more aware of the differences in basic and
complexities of concept. Expectation between perfection and realism also tend to heighten.
However, in Art, matching of the visual perception with actual expression require skills which
are acquired through proper training, not just by practice alone.
Training children in drawing skills include polishing their ability to classify objects visually into
basic shapes. From my experiences with hundreds of young children, in the basic using the
basic medium of color pencil.
Introduction to a variety of art media at a tender age is not necessary advisable. They must
stay focus in learning the basic drawing skills. Children will eventually be able to use other
media with maturity and experience.
Following are some examples of drawings with color pencil:
