The importance of visual arts for children

The modalities that will be worked with children will depend on the institution's curriculum and the teacher's planning, which will be focused precisely on the needs of the target audience. However, there are certain areas that are general and belong to all learning.

Firstly, it is necessary to demonstrate that the visual arts help in a very specific way in the student's perception of images, mainly during literacy training. For example, a child learns the number “8” when learning the letter “E” of the alphabet.

When she has a better understanding of the differences between shapes and aesthetics, she will certainly have an easier time differentiating which is the number and which is the letter. The same can happen with the letters “P” and “B” or “E” and “F”, for example.

Secondly, worrying about their role in their children's education, many parents currently ask themselves: “why should my child learn to draw? How can visual arts help you have a profession?”

Have you noticed how the field of video games and digital production has grown these days? The drawings, in addition to being published in comic magazines, graphic novels and advertising, are also strong in the area of visual production of digital games and graphic design for technology companies.

So, the visual arts, in addition to helping in the present, can collaborate with the child in the future, offering innovative employment and production opportunities.
