This study aimed to examine preschoolers’ perceptions of the concept of artist. The participants are 10 preschoolers aged 5–6. This study is a phenomenological qualitative research study. First, a short conversation was held with the children about the concept of artist. Then, the children were asked to draw an artist and explain their drawings. Descriptive analysis was used to analyse and interpret children’s pictures and responses. The study revealed that the children mostly drew artists in the field of painting. It was also found that most of the children had a tendency to draw artists representing their own gender, and they mostly drew paints and palettes to depict the materials used by artists. It is recommended to introduce less-known / well-known artists, who are interested in art branches other than painting, from local and foreign cultures, considering the age and developmental characteristics of children, within the scope of art activities held in preschool education institutions. In order for children to understand that there are many other branches of art besides painting and that there are many different artists beside painters, teachers may plan different activities such as three-dimensional modelling, photography and graphics within the scope of preschool art activities.

调查学龄前儿童对艺术家的看法：画艺术家

本研究旨在检验学龄前儿童对艺术家概念的看法。参与者是 10 名 5-6 岁的学龄前儿童。本研究为现象学定性研究。首先，与孩子们就艺术家的概念进行了简短的交谈。然后，孩子们被要求画一位艺术家并解释他们的画作。描述性分析用于分析和解释儿童的图片和反应。研究表明，孩子们大多在绘画领域画艺术家。还发现，大多数孩子都有画代表自己性别的艺术家的倾向，他们大多用颜料和调色板来描绘艺术家使用的材料。建议介绍不太知名/知名的艺术家，对绘画以外的艺术分支感兴趣，在学前教育机构举办的艺术活动范围内，结合当地和外国文化，考虑儿童的年龄和发展特点。为了让孩子了解除了绘画之外还有很多其他的艺术分支，除了画家之外还有很多不同的艺术家，老师可以在学前艺术活动范围内策划不同的活动，如3D建模、摄影、制图等。
