This manual is dedicated to children!

Most of the time they use crayons, markers, watercolors or tempera at home and at school, without knowing the technique and basics of drawing, and they go a bit "at random". Some are good and manage to make their paintings pleasantly, others fail as they would like and are frustrated by it. It takes a little, a few rules and painting becomes fun, exciting and liberating!

​

We also think about the youngest children, for them it is even more difficult,so long as, in pre-school age, they do not yet have the tools to give voice to emotions, words are uncertain and they do not yet know how to write. The only means they can use is that of drawing and colors. However, they do not know, and this is normal, how to use the pencil, the brush or a  marker, to put thought and emotion on the paperWhy  are represented and understood.

​

For years I have been working with children and teachers to give them methodologies and simple indications to facilitate expression.

​

This book is meant for children and, therefore, I appeal to them, but I invite adults to read and experiment together. Keep in mind that the method I use is not to be considered as a pastime, but as a real learning path.

Let's give the children a voice!
