Why You Should Learn How to Draw

5/24/2016

Did you know that we are all born with the instinct to draw? We are taught how to read words and write our names, but to draw - we are born with it and it is very instrumental to our survival. 

Drawing is both a means of communication and as a tool for problem solving. By drawing, we are able to see and put into paper what we are thinking. We also get to play around with our ideas and be extra creative about it! As a problem solving tool, drawing allows us to visualize our ideas, think of solutions more clearly and give it structure as we breathe life into it. 

Why should you learn how to draw? Let our reasons below enlighten you!

Drawing allows us to figure out the things we are thinking about. It makes us smarter, gives foundation to our ideas and allows us to see if it will work or not. If you're having a hard time cracking math problems, try solving them by drawing the problem first. Without drawing, what would happen to architects, designers and inventors?

Drawing helps us discover the joy of creating. Given the world we live in today largely dominated by technology and where time is spent largely in front of mobile phones, tablets and TVs, there is that tendency to just sit, watch and wait for things to happen. Drawing saves us from such passivity, teaching us to become more motivated to create, put our imagination to work and make opportunities instead of waiting them to arrive. 

Drawing fosters self-esteem and confidence. Especially for young learners discovering the wonderful world of drawing, being able to say "Teacher, I was able to draw this!" or "I can draw something like that too!" gives them a sense of achievement. As we become more confident, we become less afraid to make mistakes. We also get to realize that while it is inevitable to make mistakes, it can be fixed and it can even help us discover new ideas! We learn to innovate and become used to it!

Drawing also teaches us to think better. When our hands are drawing, our mind is actively generating ideas and thinking of new things! Also biologically, when our mind is at work, we grow more neurons, helping us become smarter!

For young artists, drawing enhances their fine motor skills. Try giving a one year old some paper and crayons and allow them to scribble. Pretty soon, they will be able to hold and control their drawing tools better as this simple activity helps in the development of their hands, fingers and arm muscles. When they get a little older, they can do finer details on their drawings, which in turn enhances their fine motor skills or muscle memory. 

Here at Art Smart, we're more than just teaching our students how to paint. We have a comprehensive art program that teaches our students everything from the basics to the advanced techniques in drawing, painting and crafts. Students get to do grid drawing, free-hand drawing, shading and many more activities to develop their art skills.
