Abstract

Colour composition is acknowledged as a key contributor to aesthetic evaluation in visual art. Adult observers tend to prefer colour compositions that are particularly close to the original, regardless of the painting's category or the observer's cultural background. In this study, we examined whether children aged 5–12 years expressed a preference for the colour composition of original paintings using three scene types: abstract, figure, and botanical. The children each selected one of their preferred images from the paintings with four different colour compositions, including the original hue. A preference for the colour compositions of original figure paintings emerged between the ages of 5 and 8, and a similar preference for abstract and botanical paintings emerged between the ages of 9 and 12. Thus, preferences regarding colour composition in paintings are gradually acquired from childhood to adulthood.

Highlights

Children aged 9–12 years showed a preference for colour compositions closer to the originals, as did adults.
Children aged 5–8 years showed no particular colour preference for abstract or botanical paintings but did show a preference for figure paintings that were closest to the original with respect to colour composition.
Preferences for original colour composition in painting develop gradually from childhood to adulthood.

儿童对艺术绘画色彩构成的偏好

色彩构成被公认为视觉艺术审美评价的关键因素。无论绘画类别或观察者的文化背景如何，成年观察者往往更喜欢与原作特别接近的色彩构成。在这项研究中，我们检查了5-12岁的儿童 years表达了对使用三种场景类型的原画色彩构成的偏好：抽象、人物和植物。孩子们每人从画中选择一幅他们喜欢的图像，用四种不同的颜色组成，包括原始色调。5岁至8岁之间出现了对原始人物画色彩构成的偏好，9岁至12岁之间也出现了对抽象和植物画的类似偏好。因此，从童年到成年，人们对绘画色彩构成的偏好是逐渐形成的。亮点9-12岁的儿童几岁的人和成年人一样，更喜欢接近原作的色彩。5-8岁的儿童几年来，人们对抽象或植物画没有特别的色彩偏好，但在色彩构成方面，他们确实对最接近原作的人物画表现出了偏好。绘画中对原色构图的偏好从童年到成年逐渐发展。
