Teaching the Young Artist of Tomorrow
When people say to me "I have no talent for drawing" I ask them if they can write. Answered in the affirmative, my next question is how much social support they received for that skill?
Writing has been identified as a necessary skill for all functioning members of our society, and worthy of providing training until it is second nature when we are children. We don't hand our toddler a pencil and watch to see if they have a talent for writing. No. We provide the training, positive reinforcement, and feedback.. and guess what? Everyone can write. Do we hand our child a page of sums and ask them to calculate? Do we set them down in front of a piano and say "play!" No.
Drawing is a skill, like any other. The common social attitude is you either have a gift for art, or you don't.
Drawing is an innate impulse present in all of us. What child does not scribble? But, too soon, the child looks around and observes sophisticated images. His/her developing brain starts making comparisons. Lacking solid information and training, the child stops creating, unless the love to create is so strong, the child is motivated to seek out further instruction. Even so, it is imperative that the young artist receives positive messages.
We are feeding our children false messages. We are telling them that they either have talent, or they don't.
Consequently, we have adults today who believe that art making is some mysterious gift bestowed by the gods. They are often afraid of drawing and painting, because they may have received some negative messages in school.
My family possesses a sketchbook from one of my great uncles. He lived in the 1850's. He created beautifully articulate and complex drawings from life, at the age of 16. My Uncle James was not an artist, but he lived in an era where, to be a well educated person, you were proficient in the arts as well as the sciences.
One of my recent 'grand experiments' is accepting students who have little to no experience in art, and, with patience, kindness, information, and encouragement, teach them that they can produce very high quality paintings. Step by step, with earnest desire, and hard work, you or you child absolutely can create beautiful drawings and paintings. Impatience is the enemy, genuine love for the journey the antidote.
