Upbringing through art in child literary education

Summary/Abstract: The article presents the basics of the idea of upbringing through art as formulated by Herbert Read. With reference to his theory, the necessity and possibilities of integration of upbringing through art with literary education of children at nursery and early school ages have been noted. The author argues that certain artistic features of literary works are adopted intuitively by a child, without the participation of consciousness, and that voluntary child expression shows their artistic values. It is argued, similarly to Read, that the impact of literature, being art, takes place in the unconscious sphere, and that the processes taking place in the unconscious conspire to some degree to the harmonization, regulation and the bringing together of the personality of a child‑recipient. On such grounds, the author presents her own example of working with literary text.
