One day, I was teaching my daughter how to paint I saw that a lot of her energy went into dipping(蘸)her brush into the paint, and then into a bowl of water. But then most of the paint that was on the brush would just disappear in the water. As an impatient mother, I was thinking, “ I am trying to teach you how to paint on paper and what are you doing? This is not what you are supposed to do. You have to do this way.”
But she is three years old so she is probably not going to bother (操心)doing it the right way. She had so much fun dipping the brush in the paint and in the water bowl. Pretty much within an hour, most of the paint was all over the room and I just sat there with my hands on my head thinking, “Oh my god, this girl is hopeless.” Soon after, however, she shouted, “Mama, when I mix pink and blue, it turns purple!”
I was surprised. While I was thinking that she was wasting perfectly good paint and paper, she actually learned something. What would have been a very theoretical(理论的)experiment turned into a very practical experiment.
I am a designer and work with software(软件)like Photoshop and IIIustrator . When my daughter sees me work on the computer, she is always very curious and she wants to work with me on the same thing that I do. She starts to mess with buttons, and in that process, sometimes lands up teaching me things! There will be many times when she will find something new. I will ask her how, and she will tell me, “I pressed this, and I pressed this, and then this happened.”
One of the things I realized from this is that everyone has a different way of learning things. When I was growing up, I related to literature(文学)very well, so everything that was turned into a story became my way of learning and understanding different concepts (概念). Some kids understand through art, some understand through math and games, and it’s the job of a parent or a teacher to watch and discover how children learn and try their best to make these experiences educational.
