The child uses their knowledge to aid the creation of their artwork, meaning that drawing stimulates observational skills and helps in the development of their brain.

By drawing geometric shapes, children learn to control the pencil as they aim towards a specific goal in how their picture should look. As a more specific part of coordination, the child learns to draw things in greater detail and can fit more elements into a limited drawing space.

The child learns to express themselves through their art as they test different methods and find out what works best for them. You may notice these variations as their work evolves, and notice certain trends when they’re upset or particularly happy, as this could be expressed in their art.

Drawing is a way to not only represent real-life people and objects, but to bring your imagination into reality. Children’s drawings usually have fantastical stories behind them – and if you’ve ever asked a child about what they’ve drawn, you’ll be aware this. What children don’t always realize, though, is that some people may see a different scene in their drawing to the one they intended. Listening to the opinions of others will broaden the child’s creative outlook and understanding of their own artistic skills.

Art provides an outlet for children to express themselves without using words. Their creations are, therefore, likely to reflect their emotions and their state-of-mind through their use of color and their choice of scene.
