Picture by reminder.

Exercise slightly different from exercising in imagination is the image by reminder. The difference is about this, that in the first exercise the work was done on the basis of the story, However, we are currently based on reminding things seen in nature. It's about it, To bring a child closer to drawing specific items. Therefore, we don't give him a literary story, from which he chooses the subject according to his own taste, but we direct his attention on the subject. We strive for no longer a picture, but to a more defined image.

There are objects, which children are particularly interested in. Girls know the shapes and colors of their dolls perfectly, prams, cats, dogs and flowers, boys - locomotives, aut, tanks, armed, aircraft, trams etc.. And they know these items up to small details, What we will see with surprise with closer discussing topics in the classroom. Children will pay us attention to the difference between individual types of these items. So it's about that, To raise the issue in the classroom and cause interest and discussion about the appearance of these items. Such children will appear soon, which will describe exactly several types of these items, because they have already watched them many times with the greatest interest. Therefore, further details are established in the discussion, characteristic of the construction and coloring of these items. Children remember more and more lively, how these items look like, And they help each other remember their live vision, To then express them with an image.

In this exercise, you can limit yourself to looking for individual differences within one group of items. Such a limitation forces you to specify the differences of related objects. If we take this topic, in which there are, for example, various work tools, railway cars or trams, Fire guard carts, etc., We will find out, that children perfectly remember the features that differ in these objects and thus more and better individual items characterize. For example, we'll find out with surprise, that children can perfectly determine the differences, which take place between the village firefighter with the barrel, small -town horse -drawn with a two -armed manual pump and urban motor pump on a motorized cart. On this principle, a series of exercises can be performed, in which children will take images and clearly emphasize the differences in tree species, flowers, fish, animals, types of weapons, technical instruments, etc.. However, you should never forget, that our goal is not the very fact or the process of expressing objects, but that we use them to create new ones, rich and beautiful painting compositions.

It is important to direct the attention of children not to one detached object, but on a whole group of related items. Playing one detached item, So, for example, a hammer, it is not advisable and it is difficult to say something interesting about such an item, How much easier to interest the team theme of the carpentry, forge, garage, Factory interiors, port, Shipyard etc.. In this case, items become part of a living and interesting whole, about which you can easily say a lot of interesting. A list of differences gives you the ability to draw many contrasting forms, what is just interesting and funny, And from the painting point of view, informative.

Successful and obtaining good results in the field of exercise by reminder, it is largely about skillful conducting discussions. In the exercises, children can also recreate the landscapes seen, interior, street, pitches etc.. The painting vision is born here on the basis of a reminder. Description's liveness and visual artist, as well as the location of the accent on the characteristic moments from the painting point of view, largely determine the result.

Landscapes, in which complex phenomena of abbreviations and perspective fugitives occur, can be successfully simplified. So the interior, and landscapes at lower degrees of learning can be treated even completely flat. It is even desirable for the age of the child.

Children take into account the proportions of individual items, They characterize them perfectly, However, the ratio of size between individual objects is often distorted. These types of shifts are also known from the history of painting. In children, this is often due to the willingness of the room side by a few disproportionately large items. The child is equalized individually for compositional purposes.

Exercises by reminder can be performed with all previously discussed techniques.
