Children's paintings are very different from the paintings of famous adult
painters. A famous painter usually has a theme for the picture before he starts
painting. The picture is a reflection of his artistic style. Paintings provide a
channel for children to express how they feel and how they see the world.
It is a form of communication for children when they find it difficult to
express their feelings in words.
There are also differences among children's paintings, depending on the age of
each individual child. The older they become, the more likely that their pictures
will identify real life. Nevertheless, children's paintings are, in the main,
subjective and discretely naive. It reflects their inner world and shows us how
they perceive the world, which are distinctively different from the adults'.
A touch of innocence and a strong sense of spontaneously are the main features
of children's pictures.
I would like to share my passion for Free Style paintings with children and help
them to develop their own styles.
