THIS COULD BE IN YOUR
FAMILY TOO…by ranjan r. joshiWhy this title? The reason is simple. We have some myths rooted in our society about the role of art in our life. Child art is not at all counted as a serious means to understand the purity of that child’s mind innocence. In India SHANKARS WEEKLY moment started by Shankar Pillai a cartoonist by profession in early fifties brought the attention of the society to this child art cause. UNO’s appeal to the world community about art and specially child art as a must for human growth in day to day life and education in early fifties, sixties created considerable attention. My good friend painter Chandrakant Channe created BASOLI GROUP in Nagpur nearly forty years ago and is still very much strong part of cultural contribution in nourishing the minds of Nagpur children. Fortunately I could witness for four decades this in my life time. This is very important child art moment in India next to SHANKARS WEEKLY moment mentioned earlier. Luckily I belongs to that family whose four generations have been nurtured on this child art since my father inculcated the importance of it in us in early fifties. Let us understand child art is not to create artist but to nurture the innocence in us. This presentation is a small effort to record the same and motivate to look in your own family something like this.

By Ira’s artist great grandfather Late R.P.Joshi’s article on child art appeared in this book and the text quoted here in this presentation is from the same.
Engage the child in a playful manner with Chalk,Pencil,Colour Sketch pens and any surface from drawing papers to any thing to express her/him emotions. Do not worry about what they are rendering because this is the beginning of their first visual alphabets which we cannot decode.

BEAUTY LIES IN THE EYES OF THE BEHOLDER…
To define fine art
appropriately one can
classify
1) Desire to draw, render and record.
2) Desire to sculpt or construct with the
specific idea.
3) Desire to perform by means of body
gesture such as to dance or to act.

Art embodies; Science
disembodiesJohns Fowles
Man invented things by imposing on nature by means of molding, weaving, building,
and painting.
To explain further We can see the following quotes from the book
The Art of Looking Sideways by Alan Fletcher
13
Art is I…. Science is We
Claude Bernard
Man discovered things by revealing
the pattern of nature
by means of cutting, splitting, crushing, and
hitting.

“Child Art” how to motivate your child towards ART. “Do the Doodle spell out your state of mind?” by Graphologist SEEMA HINGIRRANY, Deconstructs The Doodle. This was published in THE TIMES OF INDIA‐6th Nov. 2005, in Bombay Times supplement.
The child art when observed in the above
manner as said given example will allow
understanding the hidden potentials of the
child. There are many things such as memory
drawing, drawing by imitation, drawing by
imagination, if viewed seriously by the parents
the basic purpose of knowing the inclination of
the child’s mind set towards his future.

• Animals: These are usually sensitive to living creatures. Doodles of weak, passive or small animals indicate slowness, a lack of self‐confidence, and more introverted tendencies. Doodles of aggressive animals represent feelings of assertiveness.
• Stars: This indicates a feeling of hope and optimism. • Flowers: represents our feminine side and a desire to
see growth, nature and reproduction. • Cubes: The commonest doodles, they indicate a
desire to be constructive.If they are 3Dimensional,they indicate ability or an attempt to see all sides of the issue.
• Doodles are what you scribble absent‐mindedly on paper while attending a Ho‐Hum college lecture, talking on the phone to someone or even when preoccupied with something else. These scribbles vary from cartoons to self‐portraits. They often portray character and personality of the person who is doodling.
• Here are some we try and analyse:
you scribble
16
• Houses: These represent the doodler’s attitude towards his or her domestic life. A warm, inviting house‐one that looks lived in; perhaps with smoke curling from the chimney‐suggests the doodler has a happy and positive attitude towards home life.
• Triangles: They reveal a rational state of mind.• Trees: represent our egos and ambitions. Trees with
leaves and fruits indicates that the doodler associate emotions of Love, sex and children with each other. Bare drooping branches indicate depression and lack fighting spirit.
• People: Doodling on profiles indicates the doodler does not like the way he or she looks or feels that they can not Draw well. The face is important, smiles are desirable obliviously, and frowns are not.Missing of the parts of the face indicates a cautious, suspicious doodler. Doodles of ears usually mean that the doodlers feel they have to listen too much to someone\something.
• Foods: Drawing things to eat or drink indicate a need for love or strong desire for something.
• Circles: They are associated with feelings sociable and friendly with a desire to be flexible and loving.
• Arrows: This indicates ambition, drive and motivation.

world. The invert mode on the right gives you
insight of abstract letter’s beauty.

Please do not force the child to do this or that. The child will rebel. Marian Richardson the pioneer of child art education from England focused on Memory Drawing, Visual Art, Nature Drawing, and spontaneity. She said these are the windows of their mind that help decode their language….

Herbert Reed the famous thinker said “Let the child grow, develop and nurture”, the UNSCO’s report insist on all sided development of a child through the Art be basis of Education.

The one and a half or Two years old child will be in a scribbling stage or stage of manipulation. The child express through subconscious mind and same stage could be with the conscious mind by the modern artist.

Imagination and make believe world are the two important stages one can see in every child all over the world. Symbolic depiction evolves as the child grows which is like an X‐RAY of the mind. One has to be very sensitive while communicating with the child. The environment around the child is always reflected in the free rendering of art.
31
Why child stops drawing after the age of 13 onwards? The reason is entering into ADULTHOOD. 13teen to 19teen period of growth puts child in the dilemma of ‘rational thinking’ and ‘age of innonce.’ This is the stage where, only those who are inclined to lateral thinking choose to be artist and the liner thinkers opt for other vocations….

‘Imagination and make believe world are the two important stages one can see in every child all over the world. Symbolic depiction evolves as the child grows which is like an X‐RAY of the mind.’
This drawing was visualized by the then six years old Aditya due to his love and passion for cars. This was the concept based on bicycle to
which he called ATUO‐MOBILECYCLE.

Aditya due to his love and passion for cars. This was the concept based on bicycle to
which he called ATUO‐MOBILECYCLE. Incidentally today Aditya’s
father‐ in‐ law Mr. Dilip Joglekar who happened to
be automobile engineer created this model out of my request from the said
drawing. And just recently I came across this news
paper cutting that somebody did visualized
actual Car‐Cycle. It may not be Aditya to realized his
childhood dream but somebody on the earth
thinks similar.

The gist of this text is that it’s about Visual literacy. This is the
foundation of our subject. The environment perceived by our eye is
interpreted by the brain through various visual forms such as
Alphabets, Pictures, human activities etc. It is received by decoding
colour, shape and thought. Education, Grooming and the Teacher are
important factors in this process. Education that gives insights.
Grooming that gives confidence and Teacher who coordinates all the
said things. Visual communication encompasses all together the above
said things. To understand child art one should be visually literate.
My two nieces Vaidehi Satchidnanda Joshi
and Sonia Suhas Joshi
were between 10 to 8 years old then who did these drawings and gave textual expression on my drawing exercises in 1980. (34 years ago…) see the results on following pages.
