The role of interactive sculpture in enriching children's imagination

Abstract

One of the characteristics of interactive sculpture is the interaction between action and reaction. As it is a type of communication and interaction between the artist and the recipient, especially if this recipient is a child, that biological organism with a degree of privacy and distinction that brings together the psychologists of childhood and human development that the source of that uniqueness associated with it is due to the magnitude of the brain plasticity and it is natural that this characteristic has consequences. One of the most important of these is the superior and rapid ability to form new brain patterns capable of adapting to untried experiences, representing them, and dealing with them with flexibility and passion, as well as another characteristic associated with the child's brain plasticity, which is openness to the imaginary space, and non-compliance with stressful physical or social determinants that can be understood. The ability of cerebral malleability has in creating neural networks whose possible possibilities cannot be counted, and each of these possibilities is an opportunity to form a new imaginary world, and thus the interactive action becomes an important role in revealing the artist's ability to transform the artwork from a static structure to another open, carrying To enrich the imagination. Therefore, the research problem is determined in the following question: Is there a relationship between interaction with the sculptural work and enriching the imagination of the child? The study relies on the analytical and descriptive approach in both directions, the first: it examines the philosophical founding of interactive sculpture and its various plastic formulations, and the second: it examines the interactive competence between the child's imagination and the stages of forming concepts and perceptions, and the thinking patterns it contains based on mental imagination and perception, explaining this through multiple responses It is one of the advantages of interactive sculpture in activating different patterns of thinking and thus enriching the two types of thinking entrusted to the imagination in the context of communicative activity and the interactive context. And according to these directions. And to achieve the research goal, which is to uncover the role of interactive sculpture in enriching the imagination.
