Features: "A Complete Collection of Children's Art Materials" is called "Complete" because the primary hope is for it to be comprehensive, encompassing most commonly used content in children's education activities and becoming an image library. Secondly, the aim is to make it practical and user-friendly. Frequently used images are drawn more often, while less common ones are drawn less, and rarely used ones are omitted. The images are designed to be appealing to a broad audience and easy to draw, so during the selection process, many highly artistic yet less accessible masterpieces had to be excluded, which is a regrettable aspect. Additionally, the goal is to make it convenient to use. The content is organized by categories and indexed, with the order and terminology following general habits in children's education activities, allowing for easy lookup by topic. Finally, the desire is to make it as aesthetically pleasing as possible, so that both adults and children can enjoy browsing through it with pleasure and interest. Of course, these are just aspirations, and how well they have been achieved can only be judged by the readers.
Children are naturally fond of pictures. Visual imagery for children is truly a form of education, and what is called "cultivation" or "subtle influence" is precisely the special aspect of this education. Let us all, as we pay close attention to the nutritional science of only children, strive to give even more consideration to the "spiritual nutrition" of our children.
