It can be difficult to feel like you have to make everything original from the beginning. However, when learning, it is natural to start by imitating something. The important thing is not to stop there.
Imitation can be a gateway
See how to do it well, refer to the shapes, and learn how to say it. Such imitation can help you get started. Sometimes it's easier to learn if you know the shape first rather than thinking from scratch.
It becomes powerful when you put your own ingenuity into it.
Change it to suit the person, modify it to make it easier to use, and combine it with another method. When you can add your own ideas, imitation turns from learning to power. Strong children are able to add their own ideas after copying.
Let's think about something that we recently used as a reference and think about what we would change about it.
At Digital Kodomo BASE, we don't judge imitation to be a bad thing, and we value the ability to use it to come up with your own ideas. Children who can add ingenuity are strong.
