Taiwanese textbook publisher Mr. Li Wanjí has insightful views on textbook development, believing that "textbooks are not written, they are practiced," as practice yields true knowledge. The "Children's Intelligence Art" textbook selects familiar objects and scenes for children, accompanied by creative works of varying styles and masterpieces. Through observing beauty, children can experience and appreciate it, thereby guiding them to engage in creative expression. According to the teaching requirements of developing and training hands, brains, eyes, and mouths simultaneously, art learning becomes a comprehensive training. Combined with the characteristics of "learning through play and playing through learning," supplemented by nursery rhymes, riddles, and stories, it fully stimulates children's interest and enthusiasm for learning.
At the same time, the content progresses from simple to complex and from easy to difficult, following a step-by-step learning arrangement. This overcomes children's tendency to become bored with easy tasks or give up on difficult ones, thereby cultivating their interest in art, opening their minds, developing their intelligence, and inspiring their imagination and creativity.
