Nowadays, many parents will let their children sign up for some interest classes from an early age, such as painting classes. But do parents know? In fact, painting can also help us understand our children. Therefore, parents who enroll their children in painting interest classes must not waste this opportunity! Seize the moment when the child finishes the work, cherish the content of the child's painting, so as to understand the child's inner thoughts.
Maybe parents just think that your child is so naughty and makes you uneasy. You just think that children of A, B, C and D are more sensible and better. Parents are always struggling, that is, they can't find the way for their children to "heart-to-heart".
That's because parents only see the child's superficial behavior and words, so they subjectively think that the child is so naughty and disobedient and doesn't really understand the child's inner thoughts. Perhaps "naughty" is not the child's original intention, and perhaps cleverness is the child's original character.
So how can parents share a channel with their children? It is important to know a little about children's painting psychology!
What is "children's painting psychology"? "Painting psychology" or "painting psychotherapy technology" belongs to a category of art therapy, and its theoretical hypothesis comes from an important way for human beings to express pictures from primitive society when language and writing have not yet formed.
Then the so-called "children's painting psychology" is to analyze the painter's psychology from many angles such as lines and sizes based on the images painted by the painter.
Because children have certain limitations in language expression, they often express their inner thoughts through painting, especially children in early childhood. Their paintings and expressions are different. It is also in the frequent period of hobbies and painting.
When children can feel the outside world, they will want to express themselves, but due to language limitations, they can only use paintings to reflect the ideas in their minds. People often say that "the eyes are the windows of the soul", so painting is the window of the child's soul.
Parents should approach their children's hearts, and mastering these two points is the key! First of all, we should understand the characteristics of children's paintings.
1. Graffiti period (1-3 years old)
Graffiti period refers to the period when children begin to draw with strokes. Children in this period are not really painting, but exploring, that is, graffiti without purpose.
During this period, children are more interested in pens than painting, so their paintings have no theme. However, this period is the embryonic state of children's painting, which requires parents' guidance and observation to cultivate children's meaningless graphics into symbolic graphics with content and arouse children's interest in color.
2. Symbolic period (3-6 years old)
Symbolic period is a common painting form for kindergarten children. Children in this period began to be able to express themselves with lines and colors. However, their expression techniques are a bit exaggerated, and they will also be influenced by children's strong subjective feelings and desire for expression.
So the lines they draw will be a little unsmooth. At this time, parents should cultivate their children's ability to think independently, expose them to some beautiful things, cultivate their aesthetic ability, and encourage them to express their ideas more through painting.
3. Modeling period (6-8 years old)
Children in the painting modeling period have begun to gradually enter primary schools. After the collective teaching in primary schools, the lines of children's paintings become smoother, and they have a clear understanding and understanding of some shapes, and their expressive significance has also improved. During this period, children's creative desire is very high, and they can express their inner thoughts most accurately.
4. Recurrent period (after 8 years old)
Children in the reappearance period generally receive standardized painting education and training at school. With the growth of age, their psychological and physical conditions gradually matured, and they began to add some adult aesthetic standards to their words and began to pursue realism. Some children may no longer choose painting to express their thoughts, or choose another way to express their emotions, such as exercising to vent their emotions.
Second, master the six performance laws of children's paintings.
After parents understand the characteristics of children's paintings at different ages, we need to master some psychology of children's paintings, so as to better judge what ideas children's paintings show in their hearts. Parents can judge from these seven aspects of children's painting:
1. Lines and Psychology
Whether in the graffiti period or in the symbolic period, their paintings have a great feature, that is, they will be expressed by lines, so it is very important for parents to judge the lines in their children's paintings.
If in children's works, their lines are clear and the density is moderate, it shows that their emotions are stable; If the child
The lines are vague, detailed or even unclear, so parents should pay attention. At this time, children may feel insecure and a little self-enclosed.
If the child draws a line with great strength, or even punctures the paper with great strength, it shows that the child is aggressive and even venting his anger; If the line drawn by the child is always intermittent, not complete and continuous, but suddenly changes direction, this shows that the child is hesitant, a little anxious, and even wants to hide himself.
Parents should also pay attention to that if children have mild autism, they will often like to draw repetitive things.
2. Color and Psychology
Children in graffiti period and symbolic period often don't know how to use colors. After symbolic period, children begin to master the contrast of colors.
If children like to use warm colors, it shows that they are lively and enthusiastic, cheerful and energetic;
If children like cool colors, it shows that they are good at calming down and thinking and doing things rigorously, but they are also a little sad.
Of course, parents should also pay attention to the number of colors used by their children. If they like to mix a variety of colors together, it shows that children are optimistic, cheerful and popular. If only one color is often used to represent the child, he is calm and humble, but he doesn't like to associate with people.
3. Man and Psychology
When children draw characters, they are generally exaggerated, and parents can judge their children's psychology from the details of the painting.
The villain in the middle shows that children are more popular and a little self-centered; If the arm is pulled up, it means that the child is very happy and proud; If the arm part is painted larger, it shows that the child is possessive; If the child's hand is put down close to his body, it means that he is a gentle but a little timid child.
Children with some anger usually pull their teeth very sharply. I don't paint my ears because I don't want to listen to my parents' nagging, and I don't like to paint my eyes or close my eyes, which often shows that my child has avoidance psychology.
4. Environment and psychology
The appearance of the sun in the painting shows that the child is happy inside, but if it is a black sun, it shows that the child is very dissatisfied with life; If there is a house in the painting, and the house is relatively large and close to the ground, it shows that the child has a sense of self-protection and lacks security. However, if the house has no windows, parents should pay attention, which is a manifestation of the child's frustration.
If there is a chimney on the top of the house in the picture, it means that the child needs the care and more love of his parents.
5. Graphics and Psychology
When children master the basic methods of drawing graphics, parents can judge their children's psychology through the graphics they draw.
Children who like to draw triangles have strong understanding and logical thinking ability. Such children usually like math. Children who like to draw circles, they are good at grasping time and have rich imagination, and like to do things arranged in advance before acting; Children who like to change wavy lines and curves are easy-going, flexible, sociable and good at comforting themselves;
Children who like shapeless but angular graphics have a strong sense of competition and can work hard for their goals.
6. Layout and Psychology
When drawing, if the child is centered on the whole, it shows that he has a strong sense of self; Left means nostalgia for the past; Yes, it is looking forward to the future; On the one hand, it means liking fantasy; The lower side shows concern for reality and pays more attention to safety; Painting in the corner means that there may be psychological depression.
Parents need to know that children can draw six kinds of performance rules, so as to innovate children's personality characteristics according to the lines, colors, figures, graphics, environment and layout drawn by children, and at the same time, they can see children's views and attitudes towards themselves, satisfy and make up their inner defects in time, and help children develop better.
