Influence of the illustration of a children's fairy tale in five countries of Central Asia in the second half of the 20th - early 21st century
Perhaps the first thing that introduces children to fine arts, is children's books with illustrations. Notably, bright pictures can not only entertain, but also educate the younger generation, carry an aesthetic load. In essence, the spiritual and creative upbringing of a child begins with children's literature, and that is when the foundation for a future mature personality is laid. To study the history of the development and influence of children's book illustration, articles published in 5 countries of Central Asia were analyzed: Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Styles of drawing and their semantic load in children's fairy tales of these countries were studied. According to the data obtained, the modern age is the age of visual people. Until recently, it was practically a given assertion that for most of humanity, the dominant channel of perception is vision, while it is visual images that are captured and remembered faster. Currently, illustration acts not only as a way of revealing a text through a drawing, but also as a method of quick assimilation of information, expressed in artistic images. Since the book plays a rather important part in the educational process of a child, illustrations in it should be considered not only from the artistic standpoint, as the design of a book publication, but should also represent a special ideological and pedagogical value.
