Children's sensibilities and creativity are greatly influenced by their early childhood environment. Art plays a huge role in this. By incorporating art into their daily lives, children can develop the ability to come into contact with, feel, and think about beautiful things. In this article, we will introduce the benefits and specific methods of using art in early childhood education, as well as the effects of living with art.
The impact of art on children's development
Art is not just for appreciation and enjoyment; it has a profound impact on the development of children's minds and intelligence.
1. Developing sensitivity Children hone their senses through color, shape, and composition. For example, looking at paintings with vivid colors and soft touches develops the ability to appreciate beauty. Developing sensitivity will also lead to a richer personality in the future.
2. Improve your observation skills
Paintings are full of tiny details, and by observing art, children will develop the ability to notice the small details and think more deeply in everyday life.
3. Develops imagination and creativity. Artworks invite various interpretations from the viewer. Children can develop their own free-thinking skills by imagining their own stories and meanings.
4. An opportunity for self-expression Art is not just something to look at, but also a way to express your feelings by drawing. By being exposed to art on a daily basis, children will develop the desire to "try it out themselves."
How to incorporate art into early childhood education
1. Decorate your home with art
If you hang paintings at a height that matches a child's eye level, they will naturally become familiar with art. Choosing works with bright colors or stories will help to attract a child's interest.
2. View art together
Take the time to talk with your child while they look at the paintings. Simply asking them, "What do you think this picture represents?" will help them use their imagination and develop their thinking skills.
3. Incorporate art-themed play
For example, copying a painting or creating a story inspired by the artwork can stimulate children's creativity. It is also effective to provide opportunities for free expression, such as letting children draw their favorite colors and shapes.
4. Go to art events and museums
We also recommend participating in local art events and children's museum programs. By seeing the actual works of art, children can experience the world of art in a more real way.
The Yokohama Museum of Art holds workshops for children up to elementary school age. They can freely create using clay, paints, and paper. It's also great that parents and children can participate for just 400 yen. They also hold workshops for children with disabilities, allowing them to spend time creating freely.

The effects of living with paintings
1. Enrich the atmosphere of the entire home
Incorporating art into your home space can enhance its sophistication and bring a sense of calm to the whole family. A comfortable environment also has a positive impact on children's development.
2. The home as a place of learning
Creating an environment where children can experience art at home means that the home itself becomes a place of learning. By talking about art between parents and children, they naturally spend more time communicating with each other and share their sensibilities and values.
3. Raise children to be able to express their emotions
By being exposed to art, children are able to express a variety of emotions, such as happiness, sadness, and joy, through words and pictures. This is an important skill for building relationships with others.
