A study of the manipulative and recorded art media preference of preschool children

For this study the manipulative and recorded media enjoyed by preschool children and provided in most homes and nursery schools have been selected. Manipulative art media include materials that provide manipulation and creative use of the hands such as paints, modeling clay, crayons and materials for cutting and pasting. Recorded art media include vocal and instrumental music for rhythm and music appreciation, nursery rhymes and stories with music accompaniment. The present study was made for the purpose of obtaining a better understanding of fine art media preference of the preschool child. Specifically the purposes of the study are as follows: 1. To study the influence of age and sex upon preschool children’s choice of manipulative and recorded art media. 2. To study what the preschool child does or how he responds to these forms of art media. 3. To study the length of time the preschool child will work or is occupied with the selected forms of art media.
