In the last two years, AI has developed so fast that what used to take a creator hours or even days to draw can be generated in an instant......
I believe that many parents have such confusion:
In the era of the rise of AI, is it still necessary to cultivate children's artistic aesthetics?
First of all, there must be a cognitive change!
The high efficiency of AI has gradually weakened the importance of many drawing skills, and after the idea is proposed, AI will replace the creator in many steps to improve.
What's more important is, of course, artistic ❓ aesthetic ability ❗
This is exactly what AI lacks: no matter how powerful it is, it can't write poems by Li Bai Dufu, Beethoven and Liszt's tunes, and can't paint Van Gogh's paintings of Baishi.
It is really better to spend time to let children learn to draw than to cultivate their artistic aesthetics, and our children have good artistic aesthetic abilities in order to better control AI and make it a good tool for future life and work.
The cultivation of artistic aesthetic ability is a long-term process, and it is also a process of transforming observation into thinking, and it is a process for children to release their imagination to the fullest.
Parents can take their children to read picture books, go out to the park to sketch, see exhibitions, read books, listen to artworks, and so on.
If there is any simple and efficient method, it must be reading, a good art book can complete all aspects of children's artistic enlightenment.
So, I would like to recommend a magazine called Art Enlightenment!
Usually give children artistic enlightenment, this magazine is enough, and it only takes more than 100 a year, which is very cost-effective!

[Interesting development of art from a child's perspective]
Fun, playful artistic enlightenment
Since it is an enlightening art magazine, it cannot be too obscure and difficult to understand. Art Enlightenment is well aware of this, and the whole magazine starts from the perspective of children, does not stick to the form, tries to be as relaxed as possible, and tries to show art in a way that is free from humor.
Each art column is introduced with a guiding and interesting topic, with profound meaning and deep artistic charm. For example, this article "The Life of a Work of Art is Full of "Accidents"" is divided into three parts, from the topic of accidents, to guide children to understand the Buddha statues that have been restored and destroyed the original beauty, the story of the still bright colors of Mogao Grottoes 220, and the famous paintings that have been hung upside down for nearly 60 years.
Relaxed character dialogue, answer children's questions, let them have a more correct understanding of the artwork.
There is also such a comic that tells art, which is wonderful and intuitively connects the story between the artist and the artwork!
- Rachmaninoff, Stravinsky, Sarijeli, Li Yu, ......, who is the "unluckiest" musician?
Art not only needs to be absorbed, but also needs children to try to create by themselves, apply some of the principles they have learned, and feel the brilliance of art.
There will be some simple interactions in the magazine, encouraging children to diverge their imagination, draw what they think in their hearts, and write down their own thoughts. Let children understand the tension of art and start their own artistic thinking.
In order to appreciate the beauty of nature and feel the most natural art, the magazine led the children to use some materials in life to complete the simple handmade step by step.
A variety of interactions greatly enhance children's sense of artistic participation, making them not only a reader, but also an art creator!
Next, let's take a look at the specific highlights of this magazine and appreciate the beauty of art!
The magazine is divided into four sections: "Special Planning", "Very Talk", "Art Language", and "Creative Art to the End". It focuses on the combination of classics and presents, East and West, interest and depth, and the combination of different art types. Convey artistic ideas and show humanistic care.
>>>>【Special Planning】
This is the main section of the magazine, with a theme in each issue, and nearly 20 pages dedicated to an art topic, opening up art archives, opening up special perspectives, and explaining special art topics in detail.
For example, the topic of this issue is "Art is Really Unlucky", which sorts out the waves experienced by precious artworks in ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and interprets the masterpieces and the stories behind them.
The Bodhisattva of the Guiding Path, which was looted in the early 20th century and is now in the British Museum;
Michelangelo's masterpiece "Mourning Christ", which was smashed by a mentally ill person;
"Elgin Marble" and "Female Historian" were destroyed because of the ignorance of the staff;
……
While appreciating the world's masterpieces, children should develop a correct attitude towards artworks.
>>>> [Very rambling]
The combination of children's favorite comics and wonderful art makes it enjoyable to read and have fun learning.
Comic strips, bringing art classes, breaking the boundaries of time and space, and watching unlucky musicians have an artistic exchange across time, space and region.
The comics explain the stories of the artists, and let's take a look at the embarrassing experience of Xu Wei, an artist known as the "Chinese Van Gogh", and appreciate his masterpieces in calligraphy and Chinese painting.
Take the famous paintings in the history of the mainland as a clue to take a look at the romance and magnificence of the mythical world.
>>>> [Art Language]
The special section of the magazine helps children expand their language knowledge and make them fall in love with language from the perspective of art, analyzing artistic figures, appreciating culture and art.
Look at calligraphy: The famous "Prime Minister Liu Luoguo" in history is also a generation of calligraphers!
Look at poetry: We can now see classical documents, whether it is the Book of Songs, Chu Ci or Li Du's works, all of which have gone through many traps and have been carefully preserved by a generation before they can meet us today.
>>>> [Creation to the end]
Artistic creation is not only what we see with the naked eye, but also the resonance between the heart. This section helps children truly appreciate the inner logic of artistic creation, explain the key points of artistic creation, and stimulate creativity with creativity, for example, you can see what the rhythm of art from all walks of life is.

Beauty is an invisible competitiveness, the former Soviet Union's well-known educator Kairov said: "Aesthetic education is an indispensable part of students' all-round development, its essence lies in understanding the beauty of nature and society, understanding the beauty of the relationship between people, in understanding the surrounding reality with an artistic vision, but also in cultivating the creativity of artistic beauty." ”
Especially in this era when moral and intellectual education has been perfected, if you want children to still have their own unique competitiveness when AI rises, we must let this "Art Enlightenment" inspire children's artistic thinking, feel beauty, discover beauty, and create beauty!
