The implications of child art development to both the teachers and parents.

The teachers and parents are the major influencers of child's development stages in art and learning in general.So they can use this idea to nurture the skills of their children to monitor their skills whilst growing:
Whilst children making their scribbles they always show to their teachers and parents who should encourage them.The scribble can be made anywhere using anything.The activity may take a minute or less.As a teacher or parent should be in a position to praise them so that they continue developing their skills.
At representational stage child should be supplied with enough aids usefull for all the artworks.The child must given an interesting subject.A chair,a tree ,a,sheep etc are all uninteresting to a child.If the teacher wishes to include these objects choose a much larger subject, for example the parlour with father entertaining his frents (a chair will be included )The compound with the children playing(A tree will probably be included)A farm with the farmer and his animals(a sheep can be included)All these subjects require thought and wil take time to finish.lt is not a good picture if the child is finished in couple of minutes as he generally is asked to draw "a chair."The child should have various crayons of different colours so that child can explore his/her activities using colours as shown in the environment.The work should be freely done with little guidence which is necessary to ensure persistents and more efforts.
The introduction of other artists from textbooks,search engines and interacting with different peers across the globe make child's phere of influence wide.The use of environment must be empasised and identification of children's area of interest is helpful to guide in assisting the child to manipulate Art skills and knowledge.Suitable content given to exercise include:
•A street in the town showing houses and cars.
•The market with the shoppers and stalls.
•People carrying their loads to the market.
•Mother sewing and children playing around.
•Any story can be illustrated.
The lesson patterns should aim to help the child to draw a picture of the school with the teacher ringing the bell and some of the children running across the compound .Lesson procedure:
♣Take the children outside to refresh their memories of the outside of theschool and the compound.
♣Ask the children to shut their eyes and think of the school and the compound.
♣Children draw while the teacher goes round to give individual suggestions when necessary.
♣The children display their work their work whilst cleaning their places.
This is a simple lesson pattern yet effective .All the children are busy and should have plenty to do.The teacher guided them before they started .If some are very fast and have really done their best ,they can be given another paper to anything similar with the same activities in the lesson.For a child of any age ,patterns form a useful exercise as they can be simple for a small child and more complicated for older children.A pattern can be likened to a dance ,with rhythm and movement which is repeated over and over.
Always let the children choose own colours .Help them to use colours which look interesting together .Let them experiment with colours and mix their own colours.
Defferent shades can be obtained by using more of one colour and less of another .Help the children to see that two dark colours together do not show up as clearly as dark one and a light one side by side depends for its final quality on the way in which the subject is shown.Pictures do not have foot notes .The artist who wishes to communicate an idea or impression must do so by means of a picture.
The gang the child belongs should be monitored and encourage the child to influence the group to do art works and insists on using techniques in drawing.The network of the child whether online should be reguarded as useful and ensure that the child is not being diverted to immoral things.Each of the arts therefore has a particular language.Whether studying painting ,commercial art or cartoon can use language to express themselves .There is nothing misterious or difficult about the language of Art but an understanding of Art is important for the child's Education.
Whilst the rights of children and freedom need to be upheld it is also very important to ensure that the child is not moving away from the education and practice of good morals values.The works should not be continuously discouraged,avoid letting children copying and tracing.Always acknowledge to them that there is no bad art and art is not about reproducing someone's art. The children should be given the opportunity to visit galleries so that they can meet other peers and artist who continuously give them new techniques and the dynamics in Art and design in the world of arts and cross pollination of cultural activities over the internet.
