The document discusses the organization of artistic education in preschools in Romania, including defining different age levels, curriculum areas like plastic arts and music education, and goals and benchmarks for developing skills in areas like drawing, painting, modeling, and using elements of visual language. It provides examples of drawing activities and lessons for preschoolers to practice techniques and strengthen skills using topics, definitions, and objectives.

1. THE ORGANISATION OF
THE DIDACTIC AND
EDUCATIONAL PROCESS
IN THE AREA OF ARTISTIC
EDUCATION

2. Preschool or pre-primary education (kindergarten – grǎdinițǎ in Romanian) is a
public education service that is addressing children from 3 to 6 years of age providing a
national curriculum and qualified educational staff. The present Law on Education –
Law of National Education (Law 1/2011) addresses issues related to the educational
needs of children between 3 to 6 years of age who are enrolled in preschools.
Preschool education can be organised in public and private kindergartens.
Kindergarten attendance is optional. There are no entrance requirements for preschool
education. According to the provisions of the Law of National Education, art.23, (a),
early education (0 – 5/6 years), includes:
 the ante-preschool level (0 - 3 years);
 pre-school education (2,5/3-6 years), which includes:
 junior group of preschoolers 2,5/3 – 4;
 middle-age group aged 4 – 5;
 elder-age group aged 5 - 6
Children are organised in age-level groups:
 First Level (2,5/3 - 4 years old);
 Second Level (4 - 6 years old).
PRESCHOOL EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
IN ROMANIA

3. Pre-primary education ensures the free, integral and
harmonious development of the child’s personality, according to
his/her own rhythm and needs. Pre-primary education is equally
provided for all children, including the ones with special
educational needs or the ones that need recovering/ rehabilitation
and integration – either in special education institutions or in
mainstream institutions.
All activities organised in pre-primary education have to
respect the right of the child to play – as a form of activity, method,
procedure and mean to attain educational objectives. According to
the provisions of the Romanian Law of National Education (Law
1/2011), the national early education curriculum focuses on the
physical, cognitive, emotional and social development of children
and on the early correction of the development deficiencies.

USEFULNESS, ADVANTAGES AND DRAWBACKS OF TEACHING READING AND WRITING IN EARLY YEARS

24. There are three language skills that should be
combined in any activity:
1. COMMUNICATION focuses on fluency.
2. READING, using meaningful material.
3. WRITING is a series of lexical activities through
which grammar is recycled.
Create a wide variety of opportunities and challenges to
develop these language skills. Teachers can support reading and
writing by providing a language-rich environment with lots of
opportunities for children to learn and practice these two skills.
Basically put: reading affects writing and writing affects reading.

25. According to Sandra Ruppert (2006) learning
experiences in the arts contribute to the development of
academic skills, including the areas of reading and
language development. In Ruppert’s study on the
benefits of art on student achievement, she found that,
certain forms of arts instruction enhance and
complement basic reading skills, language
development and writing skills.

90. VISUAL LANGUAGE ELEMENTS
RELATED TO GRAPHIC EXERCISE
“Man expresses ones feelings when he speaks and ones
ideas only when he writes”
J.J.Rousseau
Graphic elements are used to turn them into plastic elements so
you can get a perception of complex graphics signs. The connection
between graphic exercise and plastic education supposes an interaction
between graphic and plastic education in order to develop complex
necessary concrete perceptions both in language development, skills
training and the use of plastic elements combined with graphics.

105. Music is a language and, as any language, it can
be used to communicate. The means of communication
in this process are the sounds and rhythm as tools and
the content of the communication is represented by
feelings, emotions, ideas and attitudes.
Music tells a story, not with words, not with
concepts, but with emotions painted throughout sounds.
