Teaching children how to draw takes patience and time. With the right explanations, visuals and steps, children can learn to draw basic pictures. Follow the steps below and watch as you help make creative changes in your child's life.

Steps

1. 1 Explain to the children that drawing comes with practice and there is no right or wrong answer when it comes to the final piece of art.
2. 2 First, encourage the children to paint the picture they have invented with their finger in the air.
   • This allows children to get a basic idea of ​​how they will paint the picture.
3. 3 Start teaching your children on a simple subject that you can place right in front of them.
   • Visual aids are a key element for children and their learning process. Find a simple object, like a cereal box, and show the children the individual shapes they need to draw to make a whole box.
   • By breaking down the drawing process into steps or small portions, you allow the children to stop at their work and continue later. Children will also learn to be more detail oriented.
4. 4 Divide the drawing process into steps. For example, if you take the same cereal box, point to the front of the box with a rectangle, the sides with smaller rectangles, and so on.
5. 5 Continue by asking the children to draw the chosen object as many times as possible. Repetition is the key to learning how to draw, just like in the alphabet or counting.

Tips

• For younger children who do not recognize shapes, it is still better to use the method of breaking the process into steps - this will help them learn how to identify shapes and improve their drawing skills.
• Always encourage children, never point out a "mistake" in their drawing.
• Never draw on children's works. They can only draw better with practice; children are easily discouraged. If they see your drawing and think it is better than theirs, they can easily be disappointed in their desire to improve.

Warnings

• Always supervise children if they can handle sharp objects.
