Nowadays many parents who include their children in extracurricular courses or drawing. Some of the parents have the view that drawing skills can be useful in the future for their children's careers. For example, a career in the world of design. The reason for this is right and good.

There are also parents who want their children to develop skills toward mental development, namely by including race-race child in order to test the courage and passion to compete, and hopefully win gratitude. It is also not bad. But parents should not become mere ambition.

If we observe, when a child learn to draw that many exercises that can support their development, in addition to skills is also beneficial for their emotional development. Now let us discuss more in depth about the benefits of learning to draw, and its relationship with the development of a child, both in terms of skills and emotional development.

Four aspects of learning to draw
When a child learn to draw, there will be an activity or a learning process that includes a sense of vision, mind, mental and physical child. Each process is associated with the development of skills and mental.
To clarify, the process is divided into four aspects, namely:

1. Visual aspect, namely the visual capabilities of children develop when they practice drawing with a mentor. These aspects include:


* The ability to record

When a child learn to draw, the ability of a trained first is its visual capabilities, ie a child's ability to record an object / form is viewed. A child who drew from the memories of her vision is a characteristic of an intelligent child. He will develop into a child who can visualize an idea, expressed in the form of images.

* The ability to distinguish shapes, spacing and proportion
In learning to draw a shape and learn to distinguish a look at the objects with different sizes this is related to far-close objects are in view. Furthermore, they will be trained to see objects in proportion to shape and space.

* Sensitivity to color
In learning to draw a child will also be acquainted with the colors and coloring techniques. With practice to know the color of a child will learn to get used to the always-colored appearance, it affects the taste of these beauties. And they will learn about hamonisasi.

2. Aspects of knowledge, namely knowledge of drawing techniques.

In learning to draw, a child will be introduced on drawing techniques. The techniques in the drawing is shown to the child's knowledge. Coaches encourage and train these techniques so that children become skilled at applying their knowledge when working.

3. Mental aspects, namely the ability to manage a variety of feelings and desires that exist within him to achieve certain goals. Mental aspects are developed in drawing exercises include:

* Concentration

A child will learn to draw naturally honed his concentration. When he was coloring for example, he will try to paint the corners of the picture in earnest. He also will be motivated to finish painting with good results. Concentration is the process of focusing attention on one object or one job. Concentration will help someone to get the job done on time and maximum results. This is very good for life. Look at the stately buildings stood, would have been designed and built through concentration. Mentally, someone who has good powers of concentration will also feel more calm. This is the positive benefits of exercise concentration.

* Patience and endurance

Patience is good mental strength. Sure is quiet here is not patiently waiting. A person can be said as a patient, when to have characteristics that are not easily give up attitude, willing to try and if that fails he will be willing to try again and keep trying (persevering). However, do not forget that patience is one of the factors concentration. Patience is a child trained through concentration exercises. Also when he tried to draw the best, not the origin so. Patience is also trained when they receive an unsatisfactory outcome, but the coach gave impetus to try again. Patience here is more inclined to stoicism.

Durability is a kind of mental strength (ductile), long lasting work, not easy to complain and (including) the spirit or enthusiasm. Although one of the durability factor of a child is physical factors or nutritional intake, but endurance can be trained or socialized. We all probably agree that children should start small, although still honed durability. Even children who are playing like running or jumping, playing ball or other play they also would require endurance.


4. Motor aspects, namely speed, flexibility and strength
When practicing drawing, motor is a child who developed muscle movement, especially the smooth muscles of children around the wrist and fingers. The physical aspect is impacting on the child's mental and skill in drawing. The more skilled kids she will be more confident.

Aspects of this drawing turned out to be crucial for the growth and development of a child. Surely we as parents want our children to be a brilliant child so that later became a successful and useful. A child will feel happy if he can create his own pieces, especially when supported by parents' attitudes. Confidence will also grow. If we as parents have given the correct direction on your children, then you no longer need to worry if your child will want to become an "artist".

Tips to stimulate the imagination of children
Key to stimulate children to want to learn to draw is communication. For example, if we are traveling with children to a place, for example to markets, malls, restaurants, supermarkets, recreation to attractions, or perhaps passing on the highway, take the child to notice something.

If we are in the supermarket, take the child to pay attention to the forms rack, display of goods or trolley. Or, take them to pay attention to people who queue at the cashier. If we are in the market, take them to pay attention to busy-busy people who buy and sell.

In visual terms, such as we were inside the speeding vehicle on the highway, take the kids to see the narrow road because away. See also objects that are further away will be smaller, trees and cars will get smaller as more distant from us. This is a visual train children in perspective.

On the other tourist places like the beach, take them to notice the form of palm trees, boats and so forth. Or if we're in the mountains invite to take the form of fir trees, mountains or hills and so forth.

Indeed we can do it while watching along with them in front of the television, it is also permissible. However, something that would be stronger impression in the memory is through direct experience is real. I believe we can do it with ease.
Good luck.
