For most people who are trying something new, often the best way to learn is to find someone who can teach us. As children, we learn to observe and as we age, we learn by listening to those around us. In our years of growth, often we are taught to be led through a series of steps. What direction provides in general, is the framework upon which we can build our skills.
In the definition of the idea of a school environment applies to most areas, but especially in reading, writing and math. Students are first introduced to the letters of the alphabet to see the letter and then go through a series of exercises to learn how to write this letter. Often the way this letter is presented in the paper is formed by a series of steps. This applies to math and to learn how to put numbers on paper first, then move on to more complicated equations. Drawing on my mind is really no different than learning to create letters and numbers.
Drawing is a skill that can be taught. The same we have a framework for writing, but can also be a framework for drawing. When this framework, which enables students to acquire the skills that will help students in the direction of becoming an artist applies. For the drawing, the steps are very simple. If a person can draw circles, squares and triangles, then you can take almost anything you can see. The trick is to learn the steps and sequences. My experience has been that most children in kindergarten and can even learn the three basic geometric shapes. The trick, then, is to "live" their attention to where these forms are in an object, and then provide the steps to complete a picture of what they see.
The same goes for activities directed creativity knee? For the purposes of this discussion, I will use Shakespeare as an example. William Shakespeare probably had to learn to read and write like other children at school. I think it would have been shown or "directed" in the form of letters and words. No doubt Shakespeare, like today's children learned to write by copying or imitating phrases placed before them by the teacher. I do not think it stopped or stunted his creativity as a writer anyway. He went on to become one of the most famous writers of plays, poetry and sonnets. For a more modern example, I look at my teenage son who is learning to drive my car that has a manual transmission. Much time is devoted to guidance on how and when to change gear. Spend your time watching how it's done, then he has the opportunity to practice what they have learned. At first, it sticks pretty close to what has been taught. Is it done more creative with your driving skills and my car next? I have no doubt it will. The same applies to the drawing.
In a recent class of sixth graders learn to draw three-dimensional houses. Once the investigation is completed his mission was to get your dream house. Most children think in terms of a conventional square house and peaked roof. One child decided his dream house was a beacon and used his newly acquired drawing skills than she imagined. His creativity has been stifled by the first directed drawing lesson? I do not think I would think that the lesson gave him the confidence to move on to something different.
Perhaps art and music is unique in the sense that if a person is not as good as they think they should be then they feel they can not do this activity. Spontaneous drawings of young children, which in turn judge our work against others. in addition,
"Because many teachers feel they" can not draw "themselves, you certainly can not expect to teach drawing to children. Given the lack of adult encouragement in this area, it is not surprising that many children leave drawing at the age of eight years or more. "- Tony Godfrey - Drawing dating with children
The above scenario does not occur. Directed design is one of the best ways to instill confidence in your skills teacher and the student. The "I can not" soon became "I can", and once you feel you can then creativity flourishes.
In response to the comment "directed drawing only encourages students to imitate the teacher," I would say this: teacher led activities should open doors and a good teacher in turn, will encourage students to explore beyond what was taught .

My belief is that anyone can learn to draw, just the desire to do and instruction. It is in this spirit that I have created step by step instructions for making the things we see around us in simple ways. When working with students, I tell them that if they can draw circles, squares and triangles that can pull anything they can see. Almost every child I taught in kindergarten through twelfth grade can learn from these three forms.
I am also aware that for some children symbolizes errors gums. My step by step drawing program is set up so that the child does not have to delete all lines. What obtained from visits as part of the final image and erasure is not required. Success is a big part of my mission when it comes to design, and the methods they use guarantee that even those who think they can not shoot, you can.
