Children are born with the relationship with photo-visual literacy. Kids are fond of imitating and drawing pictures to display their imagination of the world which is unknown to them. They consider drawing pictures as a casual play and glad to accept the feeling and objects the pictures have bring to them. As a result, photo-visual literacy is substantially valuable to children's education.
The major purpose of this education is to promote their perception ability through high-quality visual education, so that they can develop their other abilities such as building their own value system and self esteem as well. With the setting up of various photo-visual practices, we can record children's emotional development on perception, social contact, creation, appreciation of beauty etc. by observing their respective react of photos.
By exploring the visual world, children learn the arts in their daily lives. They learn to appreciate those feelings between the natural environment and human creations through a variety of wonderful patterns, and learn to draw different things which happen every day to other visual aspect of things. In this way, children realized that they are able to change their visual environment, and even learn arts which created from people from different background through their daily lives.

I agree with what Yee said. Kids are innocent, they will always do whatever they see. Children start to explore at their early stage in life. Every single day millions of children are constantly bombarded by media. Television, Internet, Movies, Video Games, Music, Videos are some of the many forms of media that continues to feed particular messages and ideas into our children and ultimately into our culture. Problems may arise as what Yee said kids imitate pretty much anything that surrounds them. Too much of this is detrimental to the minds of the Kids here are the disadvantages: * Children who consistently spend more than 4 hours per day watching TV are more likely to be overweight.
ReplyDelete* Kids who view violent acts are more likely to show aggressive behavior but also fear that the world is scary and that something bad will happen to them.
* TV characters often depict risky behaviors, such as smoking and drinking, and also reinforce gender-role and racial stereotypes.
Photo-Visuals are a very effective way to understand and learn things that we can’t interpret or put into words. As what Yee said “photo-visual literacy is substantially valuable to children's education “, that is why toddlers start to learn by recognizing a picture. For example, you could show them what an apple looks like so they would know what it’s called when they see it. I agree with Chan and Yee, children do imitate what they see since it is their foundation of learning. So, no wonder children’s minds were polluted nowadays because of all the things they see everywhere. As what Chan said, children spend most of their time in front of their TV, and I would say this plays a significant part in the way they behave.

ReplyDeleteI agree with Yee and Chan that photo-visual Literacy is integral to children’s education and development. It is important to allow kids to develop their creativity and perception through drawing, and looking at pictures. Without these early development tools, we wouldn’t have raised the great artists that this world has. The other day I was watching a commercial that showed babies learning to read. And when I say babies... I mean, approximately eight months old and up. The product was essentially a stack of flash cards printed with visual objects such as cats, dogs and birds. When it was shown to the child, the word was said repeatedly to them and eventually they would imitate the sounding of the word. I was amazed by this commercial, because it seemed like these kids could barely pronounce the words, yet they were reading Shakespeare novels. Shakespeare at three?! How can they know what they are reading, when such novels are studied at high school level? This brings me to the children’s innocence comment made earlier by Christian. At what point do we seperate early education from forced education? When is time to give them flash cards and Shakespeare, and when is the time to let our kids be simple beings, saying goo-goo-gah-gah and eating dirt?
