Do textbook illustrations affect children's aesthetics?

It will definitely be affected.

First of all, the illustrations in this set of primary school mathematics textbooks are indeed as "outrageously ugly" as netizens said.

Secondly, the illustrations in this set of primary school mathematics textbooks contain content that is clearly inconsistent with socialist values.

Aesthetic education is in every detail

“The eyes are strange and have no sense of beauty.” Today, the illustration of the People’s Education Press mathematics textbook caused controversy and became a hot topic. Some netizens said that many of the pictures in the textbooks are hard to describe. "The bald forehead and strange corners of the mouth are obviously inconsistent with the image of Chinese children."

In response to this situation, the People's Education Press gave the latest response, stating that it has begun to redraw the cover and some illustrations of the relevant volume of mathematics textbooks to improve the painting style.

This is an act of "choosing what is right" for the voice of netizens, and should be affirmed. In terms of aesthetics, although everyone is different, people still have a certain awareness of beauty and ugliness.

When many people think that some illustrations are problematic and unsightly, it at least proves that such a painting style has indeed failed to keep up with the times and cannot satisfy the aesthetic taste of most people.

At present, some literary and artistic works and creative products, including commercial advertisements, deviate from the mainstream aesthetics from time to time, such as the advertising photos of a snack brand at the end of last year and the aesthetics of a fashion model's makeup that were revealed by netizens The view was widely controversial among netizens.

This "alternative" aesthetics and values ??have aroused strong controversy among the public and deepened the understanding of the importance of aesthetic education.

The illustrations in the textbooks are not only to assist understanding and add to the cake. For children, they are also a kind of cultivation of aesthetic taste and a subtle influence. They must be cautious. .

Aesthetic education is not just specialized art subjects such as music, art, and painting. The illustrations that children see in textbooks, the buzzwords they learn from teachers’ lectures, and the attention they pay in mass media to "stems"... will play a big role in the formation of children's aesthetics.
