culture and time they live in and has to be a natural part of the basic
education of children.
The lecture gave information about the way the visual language of
civilization has changed during ages and how the visual language of children
is developing. The view on reality is changing by the knowledge, interest,
reference, context and personality of the person.

express themselves in the art process. There are many ways to find solutions
and an art process has to have the challenge to find new and unexpected
changes to express the personal relation with reality.
