Have you ever noticed how bad kids are at drawing?

Answer 1

My little cousins give me pictures they've "drawn" or "painted" I use sarcastic quote marks as this I've shat more artist things than that.

"This is a picture of mummy." Then why, pray tell, are mummy's feet twice the size of the rest of her body?

"Look...sheep." Have you ever seen a sheep child? Sheep are not blue and they have (or most of them have) four legs and they don't hover an inch above the ground either.

Small children have no concept of taste, colour or even reality. My monkey butler, on the other hand, makes Michelangelo look like some cackhanded colourblind hack.

Answer 2

What's this, the Billy Goats Gruff??

Ok I'll bite. Yes I've noticed kids are bad at drawing and this is because (a) their hand/eye coordination isn't well developed yet, if ever, and (b) their cognitive development hasn't peaked yet, if ever.

Young children are only just starting to grasp spacial relationships, and that the reason why they don't see the whole of something may not be because it isn't there, but because it is obscured by something else in front of it. They can't totally predict that the rest of the object is really there.

Why does a baby keep throwing the toy out of the pram? Not to be incredibly irritating (though it is), they're trying to figure out if the same toy is going to come back again 'by magic', or if it's a new toy that looks exactly like the one they just discarded out of view.

They can't draw properly because they can't make a rendition of something they have a hard time imagining. Apparently Aboriginal toddlers learn spacial relationships a lot sooner than children of any other race, don't know why, so they can draw better at a younger age than any other.

Answer 4

You're pulling my leg, but I will take the bait anyway.

I couldn't disagree with you more! Children's drawings are charming, heartfelt and original. They can be happy; they can be sad; and they can make you laugh. Just be sure to have them tell you what it is that they have drawn. Don't venture a guess on your own. You will most often be wrong. What I most enjoy is when my 4 year old grandson has drawn a picture - just a small picture - and then he relates to me what the picture is all about. The latter part can take 15 minutes, and I love every minute. I sometimes even record his recitation.

Answer 5

Well, can you remember how you drew when you were a kid? I am sure you weren't a Picasso. Stick people 1D shirts and pants with little stick arms and legs sticking out and faces with little circles for noses. Looking back on my stuff I have to laugh. Now look at me. I design company logos and wallpapers. I am trying to learn anime. It looks rather awful right now but like kids, practice makes perfect.
Just remember to boost the childs confidence and not squash their hopes and dreams. Who knows, that kid can become the next Picasso or Norman Rockwell or Charles Schults. Then who'll be laughing then? :)

Answer 6

Yes - but have you noticed how adults are even worse?
My opinion of, say, Picasso is really that he produced crap - it isn't my style - did you notice how bad he was at drawing - yet his works are worth fortunes.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder - don't imagine for one moment that you know better - the child whose drawing you don't like today may be the Picasso of tomorrow.

Answer 7

Not all kid are bad a drawing
for some people they just can not draw

Answer 8

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Impressionist paintings are inaccurate by their nature, Picasso's women are seriously anatomically incorrect, and Edward Munch's got a strange idea of what colour the sky is, yet they are great artists.
Artists represent what they see, just as children who have not yet been warped by being told what is acceptable, good or bad, or socially acceptable, paint what they see, as they see it.
Give me a childs painting over a Damien Hirst pickled sheep, or Tracey Emin tent any day.

Answer 9

Children don't care if their drawings are 'bad' (i.e. - don't conform to your way of thinking) and that is a beautiful thing. If you expect perfection from a child or if you expect them to do things the way you want them to you will be depriving them of the joy of dicovery and revealing your own limited mindset.

Have you ever noticed that children are expert learners? Have you ever wondered why? (hint: it has something to do with the fact that they haven't learned to fear mistakes yet)
