Taiwanese textbook publisher Mr. Li Wanjí has insightful views on textbook development, believing that "textbooks are not written, but practiced," as practice yields true knowledge. The content of the "Children's Intelligence Art" textbook focuses on familiar objects and scenes for children, accompanied by various creative works 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.
Additionally, the content progresses from simple to complex, from easy to difficult, in 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.
