Thoughts on Guidance and Assessment in Art Education for Children : Role of Teachers Perceiving the Positives and Potential of Children

Abstract

The changes of children reflect the changes of society and changes of adults, and the responsibility lies with adults. Children are a mirror of society. There are children's inspirations which can only be felt by means of listening to invisible things and emptying the mind while trying to feel them with all of the senses. The purpose of education is to equip children with the solid power and a big heart to feel, think and realize the joy and meaning of conceiving and materializing their dreams and wishes. Art education in primary education is entrusted with an important contemporary mission. Here, how to perceive the positives in children's formative activities is discussed from various viewpoints.
