Puzzles are very beneficial to the child and adult artist.
First, they are relaxing, but the key is their ability to teach
hand eye coordination, the power of observation, attention
to details and to see color relationships. One cannot play
a puzzle without calling on these skills. For the young child
they are a very important method for teaching the skills necessary
for developing the artist's ability to 'see'.
- Observation and attention to detail is a fundamental trait
of the artist.
- Puzzles help the child focus on the small details
that might otherwise be missed.
- Connecting lines, tones and
tints of color, aligning shapes and fitting the pieces together
are similar to creating a whole painting, bit by bit...piece
by piece...
- Computer puzzles can entertain children on rainy days and if they are feeling, 'under the weather'.
- When using computer generated puzzles, teach the youngster how to use the mouse to manipulate the puzzle pieces.
