Drawings of children's faces in the Cubist style

Hello! This is 👋 MY STELLA

"I want to incorporate educational play more fun..." 🤔 "I want to develop the talents of children who love drawing!" "Aren't you tired of playing the same kind of play every day?"

I really understand the worries of such dads and moms! 💕 Today, I will introduce 🌈 a special method

What! The method of "Cubism" conceived by the genius painter Picasso of the 20th century is a special tool to nurture children's creativity! ✨

"The process of drawing in early childhood is more important than being good or bad." 👍

Cubism is not difficult! Why 🎯 children are addicted to it

Photographing an apple from various angles
New discoveries are made when viewed from various angles, up and down, left and right.

According to a study on the development process of children's drawing, 4-5 years old is actually "the time when you want to see things from various angles"! 🔍

For example, my favorite apple...

  • When viewed from above→ it looks like a flower! 🌸
  • When viewed from the side→ it looks like a droplet! 💧
  • When viewed from an angle→ it looks like an egg! 🥚

You can do it tomorrow! Cubist play 💫 for parents and children

Parents and children enjoying drawing together
Make your daily drawing a special time

1️⃣ Play with your favorite toys!

  • Put the toy in the middle
  • Spinning and observing time 👀
  • Let's draw freely what we notice!

2️⃣ Transform your favorite food!

  • Think 🍎 of your favorite fruit or sweets
  • "What does it look like from above?"
  • You can draw freely with your imagination! ✌️

Three great powers 💪 that grow in Cubism

Three powers that develop children's talents are also introduced in "Introduction to Art Education":

  1. Observational skills 👀 The habit of staring at them will naturally develop!
  2. Imagination 🧠 "Maybe..." spreads endlessly!
  3. Expressiveness 🎨 Find your own way of expressing yourself!

Art time 🌟 starting tomorrow with children

Point 1: Value 💝 your child's "I want to try it!"

As Eiko Maki teaches us in "Infant Plastic Expression", it doesn't matter if you're good or bad. The important thing is that the child thinks "I want to draw!" Let's cherish that feeling and cultivate it!

Point 2: If you find a new perspective, it's a ✨ treasure

"From the sky, your house looks square!" "From the side, bananas look like crescent moons!" Discoveries unique to children are "amazing!" and "interesting!" Let's sympathize. With that one word, children's observation skills will grow 🚀 steadily

Point 3: Everyday play is an opportunity 🎨 to develop talent

The children's program "Museum Start Aiueno" of the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum will be held in the "Children's 'I Found!' and 'I Made It!' It is said that this moment becomes the seed of creativity."

No special tools or difficult techniques are required. The important thing is to work with your child to say, "Heh~!" and "Amazing!" Time to share "Interesting!" The accumulation of this is the 🌱 best nutrition for nurturing children's creativity

Let's get started tomorrow! The "fun!" of you and your child will nurture 💖 the buds of new talents
