Anyone want to teach child drawing at home ?

[teachingmum]

Hey mommies,


I also teach my kids art at home. This holiday, we did crayon etching, charcoal drawing, painting and even a wall mural. For the wall mural, the kids drew on the wall using crayon and I helped to outline using paint. The kids, 4 and 6, did not have the stability and physical strength to use a brush to outline on a wall yet.

Overall, very fun and fulfilling to do art with them at home [img]

Dear parents,


Our art center is using Da Vinci programme and we have books that teach a step by step guidance on how to draw animals (sea animals series 1 and 2; farm animal series 1 and 2), maybe you could take a look and if you are interested can order it from us
$12 per book.
Our center address: 123 Hougang Avenue 1, #01-1426, Singapore 530123
For purchasing the book, you could come on Sat, 1 pm - 7 pm.

I’ve bought books that teach drawing step-by-step for my DD, but she goes through them very quickly. Running out of ideas to "teach" art at home.


Any other ideas to teach/expose them to art other than sending them to art lessons?

Thanks much!!

My children like doodling. As I’m a FTWM, I don’t have time to plan & teach my kids. Everyday, I get a sensing of what they r learning in sch or what happened during the day thru their drawings. On wkend, I will reinforce with books or online resources from what they learnt during the wk. For eg, my K2 son is learning solar system this term. So we do craft on planets & comets. We also do art stuff for special occasion, eg national day, can make flag, understand meaning behind crescent moon & rising stars. My 4yo girl is into hand printing now. So we make pictures with her hand prints, eg sun, flower, animals. We just have fun & play along, no structured art lesson req

Hi Wan,


Thanks for sharing! Wow, you also make much effort to teach your kids. Think i gotta be more hardworking too, heheh...

Serenedipity, I dun really plan now. Just stock up enough art materials & boxes/ bottles for children to use. For national day, u can try recreating Singapore skyline with fireworks as background. Focus on the process not end product. I have lots of idea but no time to do.

I think I’m a lazy mum, don’t like messy kind of artwork cos have to clean up afterwards, hahah…

[Wan]

Then have to outsource or get helper to clean the house. I must admit my house is not exceptionally clean with glue marks & ink on floor & table. Also lazy to clean up but maintain basic hygene

I’m teach my kids art at home. Art is one of the way to understand your childs and also creativity.
