Early childhood is the period when people's artistic talent begins to appear, which has a multiplier effect on children's art education. Through art education, we can improve children's ability to feel, appreciate, evaluate and create natural beauty, social life beauty and artistic beauty, and cultivate healthy aesthetic taste and keen aesthetic perception. Enrich emotions and let children love life, art and all beautiful things from an early age. Therefore, art education occupies an extremely important position in children's education, is an indispensable content, and is an important means and way for children's all-round development.

Second, emotional education to meet children's aesthetic and emotional needs

Children are naturally in need of art education. They are very active and have a strong sense of discovery. Art activities provide children with an opportunity for emotional exchange and satisfaction and become their favorite activities. Children use these external symbols, such as singing, dancing, playing the piano and performing, to freely express their views, express their inner feelings, and feel the joy of communicating with others through art, thus obtaining a spiritual satisfaction and a sense of self-affirmation.

Third, train children to coordinate activities with their hands, eyes and brain.

Zankov, an educator in the Soviet Union, thinks that what society needs is people who can use their hands and brains, that is, the so-called "whole brain thinking". Artistic creation is a process of using hands, eyes and brains, which requires children to perceive aesthetic objects with multiple senses, imagine, understand and process aesthetic images with brains, express aesthetic feelings with language, and express their aesthetic feelings, thoughts and feelings and what they see and hear with tools and materials. Children convey their feelings of beauty to others through psychological operation and practical operation in their creation.
