Calendar plate New Year pictures are a special branch of Chinese New Year pictures and were a popular form of New Year pictures among the common people at that time. They are characterized by prominent themes, delicate techniques and bright colors. This New Year picture originated from the combination of the New Year pictures of Xiaoxiaochang in Shanghai during the late Qing Dynasty and the advertising pictures of foreign trading companies. At first, it was only a single color or a few simple color combinations. During the Republic of China period, due to the popularity of lithographic printing, the colors gradually became rich. In the 1920s and 1930s, it spread throughout urban and rural areas. The colors were elegant during the early periods of Zhou Muqiao, Xu Yongqing and Zheng Mantuo, and gradually became brighter during the peak period of Hang Zhiying. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was renovated. To promote socialist construction, the New Year pictures became rich and colorful in terms of techniques and colors. A painting genre that was once so popular is now hard to find, which can't help but make people sigh! This article attempts to explore the causes of each key node in the development process of calendar signs and New Year pictures and the inspirations they bring to people today.

Combining field investigations with aesthetic theories, this paper analyzes the symbolic system, composition rules and modern aesthetic value of its colors, and explores the visual code of this ethnic art.

The ancient Chinese attire color system was rooted in the Pre-Qin ritual system, evolving over more than two millennia to form a comprehensive hierarchical symbolic system. The philosophical concept of five colors corresponding to five directions and five elements established the theoretical foundation for color order. The Zhou Dynasty's “dark upper garment and vermilion lower garment” initiated ritual attire color standards. The Qin and Han dynasties established a political color ideology. The Sui and Tang dynasties created the rank-color system that strictly correlated official ranks with clothing colors. The Song and Ming dynasties deepened the imperial monopoly of “yellow as supreme.” The Qing Dynasty integrated Manchu and Han traditions to construct a diversified court attire color spectrum. From ritual regulations to political representation, from cosmic concepts to power order, colors consistently served as visualized hierarchical symbols engraved upon garments, reflecting the dual trajectory of ritual inheritance and transformation through dynastic transitions.

The primary school stage is a critical period for the development of children's cognitive, emotional, and aesthetic abilities, during which art education plays a vital role. Art instruction not only stimulates students' creativity but also cultivates their aesthetic emotions and artistic expression skills. Color, as an essential element in art creation, has strong visual impact and emotional expressiveness. In primary school art education, the proper use of color can significantly enhance students 'aesthetic awareness and help them better understand and convey the essence of artworks. Through the design of comprehensive art activities, students can explore the diversity of colors in practice and improve their aesthetic judgment and artistic expression skills in creation. Therefore, this article will focus on the application of color in comprehensive art activities at the primary school level, aiming to provide effective teaching strategies for primary school art education and promote the comprehensive development of students' aesthetic abilities.

Printmaking activities have become a common way for children to contact traditional art symbols because of their operability and intuition. Related analysis points out that children's preference for highly saturated colors is directly related to their emotional experience, and they often use symbol substitution and color reconstruction for creative transformation when simplifying traditional patterns. Based on this, this paper will discuss the behavioral characteristics of children's color perception, the path of creative transformation of cultural symbols, and the strategy of balancing tradition and innovation in printmaking education, with the aim of providing practical references for children's art education that take into account both cultural inheritance and creativity development.

Color perception is a key ability for children's art enlightenment, which will directly affect their aesthetic experience and creativity development. In primary education, traditional art classrooms often teach by memorizing color names and single copying, which is easy to make lower-grade students feel boring and difficult to stimulate the enthusiasm of active observation and exploration. With the characteristics of fun and interactivity, gamification teaching can build a real color application scene for students. Therefore, this paper focuses on the association between gamification teaching and the cultivation of color perception ability, in order to provide new ideas for improving the fun and effectiveness of primary art classrooms.

In primary school art education, color perception ability constitutes a key component of students' artistic literacy. Drawing on the psychological development characteristics of primary school students and their performance in art learning, this paper thoroughly analyzes the significance of color perception in enhancing students' aesthetic literacy, stimulating their creativity and imagination, and promoting their all-round development. It further proposes cultivation strategies such as creating engaging teaching scenarios, connecting with real-life experiences, adopting diverse teaching methods, and organizing art activities. The aim is to provide practical references for fostering color perception ability in primary school art teaching, helping primary school students better perceive, understand, and apply colors in their art learning.

With the deepening of basic education reform, the value of primary school art teaching in cultivating creativity is increasingly prominent. This study focuses on the field of color teaching and explores the construction of a systematic teaching strategy guided by creativity cultivation, in response to the current problems of fixed teaching modes and limited students' innovative thinking. Research has found that systematic color teaching strategies can not only enhance students' abilities in color discrimination and artistic expression, but also promote the development of critical thinking through training in deconstruction, recombination, and reverse thinking. Therefore, the study suggests that primary schools establish a spiral teaching framework of "observation experiment reconstruction", transforming traditional color knowledge teaching into a carrier for cultivating innovative thinking, providing a practical paradigm for the reform of primary school art teaching, and helping students make a substantial leap from technique imitation to creative expression.

Color teaching in primary school art is not only the basic stage of visual cognition and artistic techniques, but also has a crucial significance in stimulating students' creative thinking. However, in current teaching, there are generally situations such as content stereotyping, restricted expression, and single methods, which hinder students' free expression and imagination cultivation in color practice. Facing this predicament, this article analyzes the interactive relationship between color teaching and creativity, providing optimization paths from four dimensions: content design, teaching strategies, classroom organization, and evaluation systems. It also explores practical forms and improvement suggestions for stimulating students' creative potential in color teaching with teaching examples, with the aim of providing effective references for primary school art teaching.

In the current practice of aesthetic education in kindergartens, color education is often limited to art painting activities, and the unified mode of color filling practice is adopted. This single approach is difficult to meet the multidimensional cognitive needs of young children for color. The purpose of the study is to explore the implementation methods of color education in the practice of aesthetic education in kindergartens. The research focuses on how to construct a multidimensional color learning environment through the interaction of material carriers, cultural symbols, technological media, and life scenes. The research approach emphasizes the transformation of abstract color cognition into concrete experiential activities, and analyzes the formation process of children's color application ability under different paths.

With the continuous innovation of educational concepts and the increasing advancement of technological means in China, color learning for young children, as an important component of early education, also faces the need for innovation and optimization in its teaching methods. However, the current traditional color teaching methods still have certain limitations in stimulating children's interest and promoting cognitive development. To address these issues, this study proposes a series of effective measures aimed at improving the efficiency and quality of color learning for young children. Research has found that introducing visual teaching strategies can significantly improve children's understanding and application abilities of colors. Therefore, early childhood education institutions in various regions should flexibly use visual teaching strategies based on actual situations, increase investment in educational resources, and pay attention to teacher training to improve professional level and teaching quality.

The research aims to explore how to make more effective use of local cultural background to carry out color matching teaching in children's creative art activities. The research focuses on how to systematically guide young children to observe the typical characteristics and matching rules of local colors from natural objects, traditional art forms, and daily life scenes around them based on their physical and mental characteristics and cognitive levels, and organically integrate them into the process of creative expression. By designing and practicing a series of targeted teaching strategies, it is expected to help young children explore colors more freely and express emotions more confidently in a culturally rich atmosphere, while also deepening their understanding and recognition of local culture unconsciously.

With the continuous development of modern early childhood education concepts, life education has gradually become an important component of kindergarten education, aiming to help children understand life, respect life, cherish life, and cultivate a positive and healthy outlook on life. Meanwhile, as a discipline that studies the relationship between color and human psychology and behavior, the application value of color psychology in the field of education is increasingly receiving attention. This paper focuses on the application of color psychology in kindergarten life education, deeply analyzes its significance, carefully sorts out the problems that exist in the practical process, and proposes practical and feasible application strategies. By combining theory with practice, the aim is to provide useful references for kindergartens to use color psychology to carry out more effective life education, help children form a positive and healthy outlook on life, and promote their comprehensive development.

The process by which children depict nature is a wonderful journey from perceptual awareness to artistic expression. This paper aims to explore how children transform the color elements in nature into unique artistic languages based on their cognitive development patterns. By applying children's cognitive psychology, a three-level cognitive model of "sensory reception - thinking processing - memory internalization" is constructed to systematically analyze the complete transformation path from the perception of natural color symbols to the formation of painting languages. The research shows that at the sensory level, children obtain natural symbols through visual, tactile and other sensory channels; at the thinking level, they organize and attribute meanings to the perceived materials by using strategies such as generalization and logic; at the memory level, through the repeated processes of the previous two levels, they construct and form stable painting schemas. The study reveals the intrinsic connection between children's painting expression and cognitive development, providing theoretical basis and practical guidance for children's aesthetic education based on cognitive laws.
