学前儿童对图画书插图美的思考(含外文出处)(中文5500字,英文4200字,英文PDF)
一名4岁的女孩在成人大小的椅子上轻轻摇晃，双腿伸展，膝盖上放着一本超大的图画书。孩子专心研究这本书，忘记了通常引起她注意的许多分心事情。在她旁边，躺在地板上的是一个同龄的男孩，靠在一个肘上，在另一本书中学习一页，而他们周围的所有人都是一个充满学龄前儿童参与各种活动的教室。
对于第一作者教室中的孩子，这种情况是每天课堂上发生的。无法阅读文字，幼儿专注于一本书的图片。 质量图画书的图片和文字共同合作，制作出一件艺术品。今天有各种各样的图画书，如何才能最好地选择那些能够吸引幼儿的图画书呢？家长，教师，图书管理员，看护人，作者和插图画家都可以从了解绘制和吸引孩子注意力的书籍插图的质量中受益。本文报道了一项定性研究，该研究调查了学龄前儿童报告的因素，这些因素使书籍插图变得美丽。

Preschoolers’ Ideas of What Makes a Picture Book Illustration Beautiful
A 4-year-old girl gently rocks in an adult-sized chair, legs extended, with an oversized picture book on her lap. The child intently studies the book, oblivious to the many distractions that usually take her attention. Next to her, sprawled on the floor, is a boy of the same age, leaning on one elbow and studying a page in another book, while all around both of them is a classroom full of preschool children involved in a variety of activities.
For the children in the first author’s classroom, this scenario is a daily classroom occurrence. Unable to read words, young children focus on a book’s pictures. The ‘‘. . .illustrations and text of quality picture books work together to produce a work of art’’ . With the overwhelming variety of picture books available today, how can one best select those that will appeal to young children? Parents, teachers, librarians, caregivers, authors, and illustrators can benefit from understanding the qualities of book illustrations that draw and hold a child’s attention. This article reports on a qualitative re-search study that examined the factors reported by preschool children that make a book illustration beautiful.
