This allows them to promptly showcase their imaginative and creative emotions, creating beauty.
4. Holistic Skill Development: The "Enlightening Teaching Method" fully integrates children's psychological characteristics with quality education in art learning. Using educational methods and tools such as riddles, nursery rhymes, and stories, it maximizes children's active roles, combining perception, thinking, observation, appreciation, and creation. This enables hands, brains, ears, and mouths to participate together, achieving effective teaching results.
Taiwanese textbook publishing entrepreneur Mr. Li Wanjí has insightful views on textbook development, believing that "textbooks are not written, but practiced," as practice yields true knowledge. The "Children's Intelligence Art" textbook selects familiar objects and scenes from children's lives as its content. It includes various creative works by children, as well as masterpieces, guiding them to observe beauty, experience beauty, and appreciate beauty, thereby encouraging them to engage in creative expression.
In line with the teaching requirement of developing and training children's hands, brains, eyes, and mouths simultaneously, art learning becomes a comprehensive training. Combined with the characteristics of "learning through play and playing through learning," it is supplemented with nursery rhymes, riddles, and stories to fully stimulate children's interest and enthusiasm for learning.
Additionally, the content progresses from simple to complex and from easy to difficult, following a step-by-step learning arrangement. This overcomes the tendency of children 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.
