The use of new media in art activities in early childhood

Za otroka je igra zelo pomembna, ker prek nje spoznava svet. Močno vpliva tudi na njegov razvoj v družbeno bitje, saj ima igra sama po sebi pomembno vlogo v otrokovem čustvenem življenju. Otrokom v predšolskem obdobju se spoznanja najlažje posredujejo prek igre. Tu je potrebno kakovostno načrtovanje dejavnosti, saj gre za metodo z igro in ne za igro samo. Igra je lahko tudi dejavnost, prek katere otroci spoznavajo socialno in fizično okolje in se o njem učijo. Kot igro dojema otrok tudi likovno dejavnost. Ta omogoča prijetne izkušnje, dviguje zadovoljstvo, socializacijo in samopodobo ter samozavest otroka. Majhni otroci se pri likovnem delu izražajo na poseben. Postopke, materiale in orodja šele spoznavajo. V resnici se likovni razvoj začne v naključni igri s svinčnikom. Črte imajo svoj karakter, ravne delujejo drugače kot krive, debele drugače kot tanke. Beseda »čačka« že sama po sebi namiguje na nekaj nepomembnega ali malce ponesrečenega, vendar še zdaleč ni tako. Prav ta čačka vsebuje elemente pomembnih kinestetičnih izkušenj. Likovne dejavnosti se uporabljajo kot metode, s katerimi si prizadevamo za boljše počutje posameznika. Danes ne moremo mimo tako imenovanih novih medijev in možnosti, ki jih ti ponujajo, saj so te neskončne možnosti prav tiste, pri katerih smo lahko ustvarjalni. Med nove medije spadajo tudi računalnik, tablica in telefon, ki otroku približajo virtualni svet. Multimedija se danes nanaša na računalniške sisteme in na računalniško podprta okolja. Digitalna umetnost, katere osnova je računalnik, zajema umetnost iz filmov, fotografije ali iz digitalne glasbe. Ko se vizualne podobe prevedejo v digitalni jezik, postane vsaka podoba digitalna informacija, s katero lahko razpolagamo. Računalnik je odličen medij za igro in intelektualne storitve. Likovno delo z njim se čedalje bolj uporablja tudi v vrtcih. Računalnik je tako kot druge likovne tehnike le orodje, ki omogoča nekatere nove načine likovnega izražanja.For a child playing games is very important, because through it, he gets to know the world. It also has a strong influence on his development into a social being, as the playing itself plays an important role in the child\u27s emotional life. In pre – school period the easiest way to transmit knowledge is through playing games. It is necessary to plan quality activities, as the focus is on the method with playing games and not the game itself. Playing games can also be an activity through which children learn about social and physical environment. A child also perceives artistic activity as a game. This enables a pleasant experience, socialization, raises satisfaction, raises self-esteem and self-confidence of the child. Young children express themselves in a specific way. They are just getting to know procedures, materials and tools. In fact, artistic development starts in a random game with a pencil. The lines have their own character, straight line means something else than a crooked one, a thick line has a different meaning than a thin one. The word "scribble" itself hints at something insignificant, but it is far from being so. It is this scribble that actually contains important elements of kinesthetic experience. Artistic activities are used as a method with which we strive to improve the well-being of an individual. Today, we cannot ignore the so-called new media and the opportunities they provide. The endless possibilities they offer enable our creativity. Computers, tablets and phones, can be included among new releases. These devices bring the virtual world closer to a child. Today, the word multimedia relates to computer systems and computerized environment. Digital art that is based on computers includes art from movies, photos and digital music. When the visual image is translated into a digital language, each image becomes digital information, which is at our disposal. Computer is an excellent media for games, and intellectual services. Art work with computers is being used increasingly in kindergartens. Computer is like any other art techniquea tool that enables new ways of artistic expression
