Ability Quote by Charles de Lint
“Most children are given far too much praise for their early drawings, so much so that they rarely learn the ability to refine their first crude efforts the way their early attempts at language are corrected.”
![“It isn’t until an adult criticizes the picture and makes derogatory comments … that children lose their confidence and stop drawing. If young people spent as much time drawing as they do learning [the] alphabet … they would all make good pictures and maybe never even need to draw a straight line.” quote by Alice Provensen](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/80f/alice-provensen-84348_children_it-isn-t-until-an-adult-criticizes-the-p_1091979.jpg)
![“Children should learn to draw as they learn to write, and such a mystery should not be made of it. They should be encouraged, not flattered... then [later in life] double the effort is required to get the facility which might have been gained insensibly.” quote by William Morris Hunt](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/cf2/william-morris-hunt-19240_be-encouraged_children-should-learn-to-draw-as-they-le_2731602.jpg)
