[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have been busy and not drawing/painting, but I do know how to draw/paint. I would say my level is good enough to teach my own kid, and I can draw portrait, watercolor landscape, draw cartoon animation etc..

My DC is in 1st grade, and her drawings are cute and colorful. And, please guide me if I should wait or teaching/showing her technique/skill/composition/color mixing now? Is it better if it is me teaching or I pay someone (more professional) to do it like taking classes in a group setting? I think I once hear someone not to teach young kid any skills until certain age because it could limit kid imagination or something, any real artist here can give me some insight?[/quote]

A lot depends on whether you know what is age-appropriate?  I'd suggest looking up the state standards for visual art instruction at school, then maybe working up to two or three grade levels ahead, if your child shows that they want you to instruct.  If not, let it go.[/quote]
