When thinking about sustainable future of our society and what its foundation could be, we come to the crucial role of an individual. The main starting points for the creation or change of personal values are willingness to change, lifelong learning, the desire to build collaborative relationships with other members of our society and socially responsible behavior.
In this context, large format art activities are perfect to provide insight to multidimensional observation of children in many different roles who, while interacting with others around them, behave as participant, observer, collaborator, organizer, researcher and creator. Precisely these are the roles and characteristics of future participants of the labor market.
Large format art activities cover a specific area of children's expression where children, in addition to artistic techniques and creativity, develop orientation in space, perception, organization and acquire necessary skills for respectful and collaborative communication, crucial for survival of a civilised society.
The results of children expressing themselves on a large format are multiple and multilevel: creating a positive and open approach to art context, creating a sense of belonging to a group, building relationships through teamwork and a sense of satisfaction with the results achieved.
Large format art activities combine sociological, psychological and creative potentials, and contributes to the realization of children's rights to individuality, diversity , affirmation in accordance with the skills, abilities and interests of children.
The main purpose of any artistic endeavor is the process, not the result. The key role of teachers is to KNOW how to enable children to participate, how to affirm their potential through the interaction with their peers and preschool teachers. Quality and thoughtful approach can contribute to the creation of a satisfied and competent individual, active member of a sustainable society.
