Children's
Art
Welcome to the Online Children's Art Exhibition from Cheong Thye-Ming's Art House. These are some of the selection of the children's art works ( age: from 4 to 11 ). Hope that you will enjoy viewing.........
The Child is an artist himself, and is like the artist, the similarity is in his awareness of design for its own sake and his ability to subordinate subject matter and the story element to the elements of form, line and color. Another interesting similiarity is that the child, like the artist, integrates the elements and responds to them emotionally. The child is attuned to visual rhythm and he is aware that colors and lines and shapes have their own meaning.
The art work of children is important to the teacher insofar as it tells him about the child and helps him to keep alive the child's imagunation and also the will to express it. Begin at five years of age the child is an instinctive creator. He is profile and spontaneous in his expression; he requires little encouragement and almost no instruction. Realism and readson mean nothing to him. It is an interesting experiment to ask a child to take a subject and attempt a composition, then to go to the direct source and compare how much he has overlooked. The importance of this experience lies not in the story element, or the subject, but in the arrangement of the matter for composition, the design of the background, the use of significant and important detail, the emphasis or exggeration of the interesting elements , and the subordanination of the uninteresting ones.
