When children are in a learning process, we should not too harshly criticize the children for their effort and hard work, especially when it come to art.
We should not judge the advantages and disadvantages by the likeness and the unlikeness. Like objects, it has never been the criteria for judging artistic values. Deliberately criticize their work on it artistic value, on the one hand, it is not in line with the children's physical and mental development, and on the other hand, it will cause fatal harm to children's feelings. The complexity of children's painting, please don't easily judge whether it is good or bad but by their own interests. Engage more with the student by ask more, encourage more and praise more, which can promote children's self-confidence. You can try various ways to express their ideas, feelings and emotions, and gain joy and self-confidence from it. Instead of judging on their still developing artistic skill, you can go more in dept with their own story of the creation of the art work.
The purpose of encouraging children's painting is not to become a great painter, but to let children express their inner world and surrounding environment with the lines and graphics within their ability, and also to make their emotions vent normally.
