Often children see things just as clearly as adults but tend to say what they see without filtering their thoughts.<\/p>\n

\u00a0“Grandma’s a bit grumpy today”. Everybody agrees, but hesitates to say so.<\/p>\n

Na\u00efve art aims to be as honest as that. It is childlike rather than childish. It has a charm and a directness which engages the viewer on the most basic level. It is not the poor efforts of the untalented. Henri Rousseau and Vasily Kandinsky both painted in a na\u00efve manner but are recognized as masters.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Any subject matter is possible. It’s the clarity of childlike vision which makes it Na\u00efve.<\/p>\n

Thinking like a child can be very refreshing – but don’t necessarily tell Granny she’s grumpy.<\/p>\n

Looking at an artist’s childlike response, in paint, can be equally stimulating.<\/p>\n
