Painting is a very popular profession your child loves to paint and I think it is a God given innate condition. I have been trying to enroll our child in a painting course, he is not interested and helpless. For this reason, I consulted many educational experts working in this area, but the cultivation of children's specialties must be based on interest. There are many substantial interest classes in the community, including traditional dance, music, taekwondo, piano, and so on. I have heard that there are also programming revelations. Sometimes, children are really tired, but in order to adapt to the current social development, there is no way. Although there are many kinds of interest classes, the only constant and most popular one is painting. Painting has many advantages, which can develop children's concentration, aesthetic ability and imagination of space. If learned well, it will be very helpful for later development.
It is said that many students have started to hold solo exhibitions, which may be more than our ten years' salary in terms of economic value. So, your child has a talent for painting, I think it must not be given up. As your child is going to be promoted to middle school soon, he or she may have less time to study, and painting will be easily delayed. But as parents, we need to learn to be flexible. If you can't often go to offline training courses, you can look for online learning opportunities, such as the now popular online Yibao one-on-one teaching method If you want to find a good job in the future, you have to learn the essence of it If your child has a talent for painting, you can go to a relevant art school to continue learning, and then engage in a related painting profession. Many of my friends may have a misunderstanding about painting and think that it has a narrow career path, which is not the case.
There are many jobs related to drawing, not just sitting down and staring at a drawing board, we can also do a lot of design, which all need to use the thinking of drawing. Of course, then again, your child is facing the academic pressure of an elementary school student in middle school. I would suggest that you can switch from offline learning to online training, such as the aforementioned Xiao Yi Bao 1 to 1. There are specialized courses for children of this age. In addition, the teachers are official faculty members of the Academy of Fine Arts, which can provide direction and guidance for your child's future development. Of course there are special cases, which may be your child's situation: poor academic performance, good at drawing. Actually, no matter whether your child is good at drawing or not, as long as he likes it, it is worth encouraging. What you do is to find him a professional, serious and responsible teacher that your child likes. Your problem is twofold: the child's academic performance is poor, but there is hope that he can learn well enough to enter a normal high school or a normal university, then. Enroll in a painting class when you are not tired of studying.
Once painting and culture classes conflict, stop painting and concentrate on culture classes, because even if he is the best in painting, he won't be able to pass the culture classes and get into a regular high school or university. One thing that should be pointed out is that many children who are not doing well in their studies do not learn anything even if they go to cram schools. They just spend their time there and might as well go to a drawing class to learn how to draw. Those who have very poor academic performance and have no hope at all to get into ordinary high schools or ordinary universities can give up the cultural tutoring and don't waste their time and money. In my spare time, I go to study painting and drawing, and concentrate on my major. After graduating from vocational school, go to work in a unit that does not require a high degree of education, or even the ability to go without a degree. Of course, I can also open their own studio, because many people on the market who have not studied professional art also teach students in the studio, the students are not bad. As long as your child learns professional system, certainly better than them.
