Parents should know this truth. A child is like a blank sheet of paper. What you draw on it is what you write, and so is the cultivation of children's aesthetic consciousness. If you leave your children alone, you can imagine the result. But if parents consciously guide, it will really be different.
I want to make it clear here that children need to be divided into ages. I think this topic should focus on the aesthetic cultivation of children before primary school, so I also recommend it to you from the age before primary school.
Because I am the only one in our family who likes watching cartoons, speaking of which, I think of my sister's favorite cartoons when her children were young, which are basically recommended by me. I remember once showing her Mi Miao Miao Family (produced by Disney) when I was a child. As a result, she was attracted by the conversations and behaviors of her friends and liked the colorful pictures inside. I have to say that this cartoon is really rich in color. Later, she even sang the theme song, which is very suitable for preschool children.
Before school, children have a shallow understanding of colors and graphics, and especially like bright colors.

Later, she went to primary school. Although she still likes Mi Miao Miao Wu, the story in it really doesn't suit her, so I found some cartoons of Japanese animation master Miyazaki Hayao and Shanghai Meiying in their glorious period. For example, Miyazaki Hayao's Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Jin Yuji on the Cliff and City in the Sky are all made by Miyazaki Hayao specially for children of this age.

I like watching all these cartoons, not only with stories, but also with aesthetic standards that are very suitable for children at this stage. Because children at this stage have realized that they have grown up and don't like preschool works very much, they need to see more three-dimensional pictures. Miyazaki Hayao's works recommended above make people feel very exquisite and beautiful, which is of great positive help to improve children's aesthetics.
In addition to foreign countries, there are also classic cartoons of Shanghai Meiying in China, such as "Make a scene in Heaven", "What makes a scene in Heaven", "Gourd Baby", "The Story of Two Generations" and "Black Cat Sheriff", as well as ink cartoons, tadpoles looking for their mothers, Moody and so on. Some people may say, are these cartoons too old? No, these classic cartoons have stood the test of the times. No matter the story or the picture structure, there is no loss of modern works. Aesthetically speaking, the artistic level of these cartoons is very high, and I believe everyone can see it at a glance. The creators of that era were really creating works with their hearts, not those who were preoccupied with commercial value.

Later, in the fifth and sixth grades, I was more inclined to the cartoons produced by Disney and Pixar, such as: The Lion King, Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Frozen, Adventures of Flying House ... These are very classic and more international in aesthetics.

Aesthetics is really important for a child's growth. I hope parents don't underestimate the subtle influence of aesthetics, and I also hope that China's animation can surpass its former glory and make some contributions to improving children's aesthetic consciousness in China.
