Shades of Expression Children

Shades of Expression Children


Accompanying children learn at the present time, it is not easy. A lot of temptations and obstacles impede the child to learn, which came mostly from the electronic media. Broadcast television, computer games, or game center that is all around us, even mobile phones too, also prevents the child to physical activity and learning. If we are not careful can-can our children not only caught the wave of globalization, but really terlibas globalization.

We should not close their eyes, that the learning process in schools that require good academic values, can make children bored and depressed. Imagine, after-school tutoring intercepted school, came home tutoring intercepted, either in place of private tutoring would also regular. Parents are sometimes too high demands on children, and only a momentary goal oriented, and apparent success.

Parents should not only pursue short-term goals, namely good grades, pass exams and get your favorite school, to the wants and needs of other children who are often overlooked. The need to socialize with friends outside of school, play, and even of expression, and creativity. The need to actualize themselves, to develop interests and talents of children, in the place it deserves.

It should be, we as parents realize that learning is not just in school and the school is not just a place to pursue the moment. Rather, the process of maturation of the child in the face of life later in life. The process of forming the whole person, capable of processing bodies, process thought, cultivate a sense / liver, which is not likely everything can be obtained at school.

It's time parents realize that children need the spaces of expression through art, good art, music, dance, literature, theater, and others. Begin to accommodate the needs of the child to express, to find the right container, for example in art studios. The main purpose of entering the child is a child to art galleries to find space express, create and experiment, not to be an artist.

Learning to dance for example, children do not have to always get a package of existing dance or dance so, but more important benefits of the creative activity of students in order to develop the creativity of children. His art (any art), as well as efforts to foster a proper sense, thought, and love art. As well as to assist the growth and development of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learners.

Expression space needs of children, can divasilitasi school or through the art studios available. Loads Education Unit Level Curriculum (SBC) is to accommodate those needs, within the frame of subjects of Art and Culture, which is included in the group aesthetic subjects. Cultural Arts subjects had 4 branches, namely Art Music, Arts, Dance and Theatre Arts (or more precisely Arts Literature?).

But unfortunately not yet balanced understanding of its contents. Schools usually only provides 2 of 4 branches, namely Arts Music and Fine Arts. So, would not want the child to receive a second branch of the Cultural Arts. even though their interests and talents may not be there, but on the other branches of art.

Learning the art, both in schools elsewhere, not intended for print artists, but to give children the opportunity to experience the aesthetic, through fields of interest. Dancing, singing, painting, compose literature, gamelan, playing musical instruments, and others, with the potential of art so the child can develop optimally.

Keep in mind, while children in art, both at school and art studio, do not burden them with the demands have to be a champion, it will only become a burden. Let the process run private nature, and should labih priority to the process rather than outcome. Even if someday their achievement, it is a nice side effect.

Activities in art galleries will make the child get the aesthetic experience that might not forgotten all his life, also will develop or strengthen self-confidence. Children in art would be a fine child performance or in attitude, high tolerance, able to work together in teams, and will not be anarchists, because they've got the proper channels in voicing out his heart, through art!

Art is never a loss, because besides the things mentioned above, there's more benefits. Among other things, the art of dance can be used to monitor the growth and development of individuals, as a therapeutic mixture of children who experience emotional disturbances. Even some doctors recommend that children with mental disorders to participate in the dance studio dance training.

There are places that facilitate those needs, including Taman Budaya Yogyakarta, through the Art For Children (AFC), which accommodate the learning needs of art for children. Among the art of dance (classic and new creations), the art of sound (vocal), art, theater, and music ensemble, which is different from other tutoring places, are scattered. AFC is an art lab for children who managed TBY, who are concerned with children's needs for expression with and through art, which is not accommodated the school. Learning art in the AFC is not product oriented, but in the process of personality formation. It is expected that cultural park in other areas soon to follow, or growing for those who already have a space of expression for children.

In addition to the above, Arm also with local cultural values, if we want to grow big and tall tree, its roots must be firmly embedded into the ground. That way there will be no child is deprived of identity, divorced from its cultural roots. Indonesian people, can come from Java, Bali, Sunda, Sumatra, Java or lainnya.Tetapi people, certainly people of Indonesia, the Sundanese people of Indonesia as well. So, a big mistake if you forget the local value to be a nationalist. Lokallah values that strengthen the national value.

Wise words 'where the earth stand on, there will be upheld sky' was never worn, no matter where we are, we must follow the local culture, but that does not mean necessarily eliminate the culture of our origin. Let me hand in hand, will eventually happen anyway natural process of mutual influence, which it enriches the culture. People can still Sundanese Sundanese, Batak people can still speak Batak, so did the Javanese, Minang, Dayak, etc.. So, be proud with their respective local culture!
