Children love to draw. It is perhaps drawing is more than anything else that reveals their tendency to think in images and discloses all the charm of their perception.
Some countries strive to create the best possible conditions for developing and perfecting children’s abilities and artistic talents. It is in kindergartens, under expert guidance, that the children begin to acquire their first habits in art.
A more serious study on the art of drawing comes with the first year in school-when children are seven years old. Drawing is part of the curriculum in the first six years. Here they are taught the fundamental of realistic drawing by teachers.
In addition to drawing lessons, every school has its art section where children develop their abilities. Moreover, teachers often take them to exhibitions, museums and picture galleries. Annual exhibitions of the children’s painting have become a tradition now. The exhibits include the best works from most countries in the world. The number of exhibitors and exhibits is extremely high and grows steadily with each passing year.
There is a wide range of subject depicted in these works-townscapes and landscapes, illustrations for fairly tales, scenes from tourist excursions and games, animals, birds and still life.
The works of the youthful artist may not be skillfully executed, they may not be of the same artistic level, but they do captivate by their sincerity, straightforwardness and originality.
