VISUAL ARTS AS A THEME IN SLOVAK NON-FICTION FOR CHILDREN
Abstract
The fluctuation of aesthetic and artistic values in contemporary art implies the need to shape the aesthetic sensitivity of children from an early age. The authoress focused on the analysis of the way, how Slovak non-fiction for children with the theme of visual arts contributes to this task. The reason for choosing the topic was the fact about visualization of contemporary culture as well as the fact that illustration is an integral part of childrenВ’s books and a dominant component of picture books, which are becoming increasingly popular. The introduction briefly outlines the presence of this topic in the Slovak context. In three parts of the study, three original elaborations of the topic in Slovak childrenВ’s literature are analysed. The book My first gallery motivates the recipient via text-psychograms to immerse into the visual image, which frees his gaze from the sediment of conventional perception of visual arts by releasing his imagination. The book How painters see the world gives children information about art techniques in an experiential and interactive way, about their diversity and function, and through revealing the secrets of painting techniques and via stimulating their own productive activities, the book forms childrenВ’s ability to understand fine arts. Publication Where is Ester N? via the means of almost detective search initiates the reader into the functioning and work of the institution, which manages the artefacts (art gallery). Finally the fact is emphasized, that these publications, each in their own way, inspire and instruct the reader to find a way to perceive visual arts. At the same time, they respect the recipientВ’s freedom of reception, the fact, that everyone is an original personality, who cannot be imposed on any obligatory receptive practices and approaches.
