Main Article Content
Abstract
This article presents a systematic literature review analyzing the impact of multimedia content on the development of aesthetic taste in primary-school students. The authors explore how digital tools like video, animation, and interactive applications influence children's engagement, art appreciation, and understanding of aesthetic concepts. The findings indicate that well-integrated multimedia resources significantly enhance student engagement and foster a deeper emotional connection to art. However the study emphasizes the necessity of a balanced, pedagogically sound approach to prevent superficial "clipthinking" and ensure meaningful learning. The article concludes with based on literature analysis practical recommendations for educators and curriculum developers, including teacher training, curriculum design, and parental involvement, and suggests directions for future research into the long-term effects of multimedia on aesthetic development.
