艺术理论家阿恩海姆著在《艺术与视知觉》一书中,以“儿童为什么这么画”提出问题,具体研究分析了儿童在绘画发展中创造的四个式样。本文以《艺术与视知觉》为理论基础,通过对书中四个样式的详细论述,理清儿童画简化现象的成因,为教师深入了解儿童画简化现象提供理论依据。 Arnheim, an art theorist, in his book “Art and Vision Consciousness,” asks “why does the child so paint”, and specifically analyzes and analyzes the four styles created by children in the development of painting. This article, based on the theory of “art and visual perception”, clarifies the causes of the simplification of children’s drawing through the detailed discussion of the four styles in the book and provides the theoretical basis for teachers to understand the simplified phenomenon of children’s drawing.
