Abstract
Illustrated fairy tale books targeted for preschoolers play an important role in children’s linguistics, cognitive and interpersonal developmental phases. In other words, fairy tales that are designed and illustrated regarding a child’s perception of reality contribute to their visual, linguistics, cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal growth in turn. As a result, child emulates the world designed in the fairy tales in accordance with their understanding of the world and would take their first steps in art education. illustrations done efficiently would act as stimulus that would trigger a child’s hearing and visual senses along with their imagination.
Such illustrations depicted should either complement what it is told in the written text or hidden in between the lines. On the other hand, illustrated books which are prepared for children who are attending a preschool or who are in the early years of primary school education, that lack written textswould help children create their own stories. These books assist in developing symbols for concepts that would be kept in children’s memories. Consequently, it advances sense perception of children.
A well-known art scholar, Victor Lowenfeld, developed a theory of stages in artistic development. They are listed as; Scribble (ages 2-4), Preschematic (ages 4-7), schematic (ages 7-9), Dawning Realism (ages 9-11), and Pseudorealism (ages 11-13).
Illustrated fairy tale books for preschoolers are important in terms of art classes. It is possible to give art education to children strating from the age of 2 in their natural environments with the help of appropriately illustrated fairy tale books.
