Children aged 3-5 years on average did enjoy drawing and painting. Children enjoy all ideas and imagination into a piece of paper. Expression activity starts from holding crayons, felt the softness of the texture of paint, pencil on paper feel scratches.
All these activities will bring a child into the world of its own. So, the drawing is a process of creativity, not just produce any color. Often confusion occurs precisely because of the actions of adults who believe that childhood is not smart enough to draw. Finally, diberilah coloring books for the children color the pictures that are already available and patterned with the good. Children asked to color a picture that has been restricted by boundary lines in such a neat and perfect.
In effect, the child will feel that adults draw better than him. In addition, children also will lose its expressiveness and spontaneity because such coloring can limit the creativity of children who experience high. Children become less able to express themselves and art. He was hesitant and afraid to draw, tend to copy existing images from coloring books and do not show their own uniqueness.
In fact, research by Dr. Irene Russell, from the United States found that the restriction on the coloring activity alone could eliminate the ability of children to express their feelings through art.
Avoid Pattern
Dyeing it is one way to improve creativity. However, parents need not worry if the child does not like coloring. It could be stimulating parents by providing a variety of coloring media of diverse according to the child's age and also that interest him. Such as paint, chalk, candles, food coloring, colored markers, crayons or colored pencils.
Protect your child's clothes with an apron if afraid of getting dirty. Rather than provide the patterns of the raw images and tend to dictate the child follows the pattern (outline), let the children express a color on paper with a large empty space. For example, large-sized paper that can be drawn object the size of the child's body (children lying on the paper and the outer circumference parents draw a line around his body), for then the images were colored with the same parents. Children can also add your own image patterns in space so that children can be creative and free coloring autonomic.
Give your child the opportunity to pour his imagination and express themselves and communicate itself with the existing colors. Do not force your child to create a color based on "taste" adult / according to what is seen by the "glasses" adults.
Children aged 3-5 years according to what color they want. For example, the sun was red, yellow soil, or a pink cloud. That is the imagination of a child who will never be felt again as an adult.Perhaps, when asked the child said he was due to color the sun as its rays are very hot or pink color in the rainbow signify clouds appeared, and so forth.
Development of coloring was in line with his age. For example, children 3 years from scratch with one color, children 4 years has been balanced with colorful images; children 5 years already use many colors.
Parent involvement during the creative process is very important, so that children are interested to create maximum. Parents can accompany the child or her mingle happily take the color with a finger to scratch the paper. Children must be really enjoying the creative process.
Could be, after the initial incision, the child is triggered scratch again with other colors thus create a unique work of their own. Give praise for the results of the drawing and also discuss these results with children.
If necessary, the work he likes best stuck on the wall or framed and put on a child's room. Through the process of coloring the children actually learn about the introduction of the colors.
The introduction of this color can stimulate observation, imagination, and the delivery of coarse and fine motor skills of children and hone their communication skills in visual form. Children also become more sensitive to the introduction of color, more purposeful in coloring, and skilled at choosing color combinations.
At the preschool, drawing is also one way for children to communicate his imagination.
So, no matter if the kids just liked to draw it without going to color it. Permanent child support poured what he had in mind / imagination into a visual form. That's the creative process.
Parents should always try to understand picture of what they mean. Do not ask or criticize the results so that children are not disappointed.
Actually, the ability of children in developing drawing along with the development of his age. At age 3 years, children draw the shape of a circle of people just spiked the eyes, mouth, and both feet and hands are directly attached to the circle.
At age 4 years, starting there is a balance in the image; form men now have the legs and arms. At age 5 years is the addition of pictures from the background around the main object, such as flowers, sun, grass, birds, and so forth.
During this pre-school, in fact, there is no child's desire to give details on drawings. He has not been realized, that his work is a result of art. He ruled out on what he wants, not what he saw. What has not been proportional to their image as an adult image. Let them forward in line with its development. Stimulasilah child to remain willing to draw. You do this by not forcing the child to draw the object with a realist.
To trigger the desire to draw to the storytelling / story about an interesting experience. Whatever the child's work senantiasalah praise for the child motivated, feel proud and show a sense of achievement for their work.
If parents criticize, one-one actually makes kids lazy, disappointed, and afraid to express again, because the picture was not communicative / understood by adults.
Language Arts Children
Often happens, children are finished drawing lazy to color. So too may the contrary, there are kids like coloring only and do not want to draw. Indeed, it would be better if both are willing to do child. But back again to the definition of "good" coloring or drawing in what context? Therefore, learning is an input-and output-outcome process.
So do not judge from the results alone. Moreover, the value based on adult standards. Consider the input (age / visual development of children, media, opportunity, emotional / mental) and the creative process while (happy, live, enjoy). Children who like to color alone is not necessarily can not draw. It's just an opportunity to draw the given less or even inhibited. For example, instead of just providing coloring books to motivate children to draw. Moreover, when praise only appear if he managed to paint with neat without looking at the importance of imaginative ability. It will further away from his desire to draw.
Actually, drawing and coloring a child's visual language. Are both a result of experimenting, learning, and appreciation of fruitful creation. That's what happens when a child is drawing or coloring in which children learn through play. Whether drawing or coloring, they can enhance the ability of right brain, which is associated with expression and art.
Often this ability is less derived from lessons in school are more likely to emphasize the importance of left brain (memorize, remember). Parents and educators should realize, that God has created so perfectly with the two brain hemispheres (hemisphere), left and right. Come, begin to stimulate "whole brain" good boy thoughts and feelings by stimulating creativity.
