Today's edition. "Site" tells you how artify And instill love for him. When to start and where to start, advises Dr. Komarovsky.

Many mothers often ask: “My son is 2 years old, I want to instill in him a love for art.” Where to start? The doctor admits that he wants to answer such questions directly, saying that there is nothing to start with. Why is Komarovsky so peremptory?

The fact is that a child in a year or two needs a mother, air, games, not museums. Psychologists say that children up to 6 years old should not be taken to museums. Until this age, children's psyches are not yet developed for such emotions.





In the museum you can come across different things: scenes of war, candid paintings or killed animals. All this is too much for a baby in 2-3 years. What would you say if he asked what it was and why? He looks at the world quite differently, he would look at butterflies and collect flowers.





If you want to introduce your child to the beautiful and to acquaint with painting, it is best to start with something kinder and better. Beautiful landscapes, images of animals and nature - pictures that the child will understand. There are no special museums for children. And you will not close your eyes when you see uncomfortable paintings in the museum.

Books come to our aid. There are wonderful books about art for children. This will help to attract the child, interest him and will not cause any problems. Bright pictures, which you can also touch with your hands, will captivate the child and give genuine emotions. It can be more useful than two hours in a museum.

At a young age, you can watch pictures in books with your child, draw and admire something beautiful. All this will develop him artistically. Most importantly, we need to spend more time in nature. There are no ugly landscapes. Most of the great artists were inspired by nature.

Immersion in the world of beauty occurs through the vision of this very beauty. It doesn’t matter what art is. Here we enjoy the singing of birds, the beauty of the sky or the river. If you pay attention to this beauty, he will have a feeling of beauty.

And this is exactly what you can do from the diaper. Good taste and love for the beautiful is instilled from early childhood. And for this, you do not even need to go out of your way and drive a child through museums and galleries. If you are passionate about art, your child will love it.

Most teachers believe that the love of art comes primarily from parents. If you yourself do not feel a craving for beauty, but want to impose it on a child, it is unlikely that you will succeed. Unless it's natural for a child. Therefore, instilling love for something is necessary by example.

In any case, parental passion is important. Galleries, courses and teachers will work only when the interest of parents is felt. When children see that parents are passionate about something, they will want to join themselves. If you yourself are deeply uninteresting, do not force the child to do this.





With older children, aged 5-6, you can already visit exhibitions and galleries. Art is a game, so let the child play. Turn the trip to the museum from a boring obligation into a game, then the child will have fun and he will want to come again. The main thing is emotional involvement, it plays a crucial role.

You don't have to make him distinguish Monet and Manet at age 3. If he wants, he'll learn in time. Your job is to make him want to.
