Parental Tips #3

Drawing is about practicing!

Like any other skill worth acquiring, drawing also requires practice and determination. Masters often draw their subjects several times before they actually begin to make their final drawing. Try this little experiement yourself: Draw the same subject three times and pick out the differences. I am sure each time you draw the same thing it is a little different. May it be for better or worse, eventually it is up to the artist to choose which of these drawings he or she thinks is best.So just relax and enjoy the process of it.

Children also enjoy making useful objects and vessels from clay. Pinching and coiling are intuitive. Designing functional work is another way to develop the imagination and visual thinking. Very little demonstration or instruction is needed. Demonstrations can easily give children the impression that following directions is more important than invention. Instead of demonstrating these things to young children, ask them how they want to do these things and how they want the things to look. Always encourage them to experiment.

Do not underestimate a butterfly. The tricky bit is to get the butterfly to look symmetrical. Practice and judgement along with good spatial awareness is the key to draw out a beautiful butterfly.
