Abstract

This investigation explains how creative development in children in early education can be supported through the use of visual arts. The children are capable of expressing emotions and feelings, discovering their own distinct artistic expression, and developing their representation of the world through communicating in an artistic manner. The objective of this study is to diagnose the level of creative thought in children between the ages of five and six and how it is improved through strategies involving graphic and visual arts. The method used in this study is based on a quantitative approach with a pre-experimental design methodology with a correlative scope. The sample group is from a population where N=137, from 7 educational institutions that is extracted from n=37 in a simple random manner where the experimental group was taken from the remains of the control group. For the assessment we applied a creative scale of 10 items, each assigned a point between one and four for a cumulation of 40 points; in a scale showing reliability of a=0.7, which indicates adequate reliability. The results were derived from the statistical t application that shows a relationship from the students, the correlation results are from the pre and post tests for the experimental group. Here is significant evidence that the students that prepared with techniques involving graphic arts increased in creative thought. In conclusion it is important to utilize the graphic and visual arts in a consistent manner, planning and orientating the creative thought development of children.
