Growing picture!

Growing picture!

​When you teach children, at some point you will see them understand the principle and jump. At times like these, I feel the greatest joy and reward as a teacher. Recently, the following students among my students began drawing with a perfect understanding of perspective and composition. Based on this understanding, we can find that their paintings become more three-dimensional and richer.

​When children draw for the first time, they enjoy drawing as they freely spread their imaginations. But as children get older, they want to expand their drawings more. Children with these concerns often ask questions, worry, compare themselves to other children, and have a desire to draw better. When my students have this mindset, I begin explaining the drawing skills in detail. And through this process, we find that students rapidly improve their drawing skills, enrich their statements, and gain confidence and assurance through drawing.

​And when they reach this point, their picture is sure to change. You will gain an understanding of space and objects, and you will be able to understand your flat paper in a more three-dimensional way. You can draw a picture and write a statement that fits the topic. They also shine light on their paintings and imagines objects changing depending on the light. I help kids get to this level.

​And this level coincides with the point at which I first began to understand painting. When I reached this point, I was able to go deeper into the world of painting. But if you don't know this point, you have no choice but to copy and draw forever. That's really unfortunate.

​Because the white space before my eyes is the only world I can create. There, it creates light, makes wind blow, illuminates objects brilliantly, and creates shadows. Sometimes the paper itself informs me, the artist, of certain objects and images. I draw with great wonder, as if the paper were a living creature. If you know this joy, you won't be able to bear it without drawing every day.

​And when my students discover the world they are creating on paper, they soon realize that art class is not just play time. Instead of chatting and playing and not drawing, they can play in the drawing. I love seeing these changes.
