ABSTRACT
The paper entitled “Communication through the Fine Arts” addresses the importance and essential and multifaceted role of the fine arts in promoting verbal and nonverbal communication in preschoolers. Based on the critical role of early childhood for the overall development of the child, this research elaborates on how artistic expressions, such as: drawing, music, dance, crafts and dramatic play, serve as unique platforms to articulate thoughts, emotions and understanding, as well as to form communicative competence in children.
The purpose of the paper is based on identifying the role of integrating language and fine arts, as well as the impact on the development of verbal and nonverbal communication skills in preschoolers. A total of 50 participants participated in the research, with the sample consisting of educators, parents, preschool students/internships and support teachers from the municipality of Gjakova. The research was distributed online, and the research instrument was a semi-structured survey questionnaire with closed alternatives, carried out through various social networks. The methodology of the work was mixed, with theoretical and practical research methods. The research results were analyzed with statistical platforms and presented with numerical values and graphs.
The results of the study highlighted the effect and importance of activities based on fine arts, in terms of vocabulary development and encouraging communication, bringing important data for the interdisciplinary integration between the field of language and communication and fine arts.
Keywords: verbal communication, non-verbal communication, fine arts, communication skills, preschool education.
INTRODUCTION
Communication is one of the fundamental life skills for the holistic development of children, especially in the preschool age, when the foundations of social interaction and overall learning are formed. It includes two main forms: verbal communication, which is realized through spoken language, and nonverbal communication, expressed through facial expressions and body movements. During this important developmental period, children acquire various ways of expressing their needs, emotions, and thoughts, using not only words but also nonverbal elements.
This paper aims to examine the role and importance of communication in relation to the fine arts in preschool children, to analyze the influence of the environment and preschool education on their development, and to highlight the positive effects that the fine arts have on the linguistic and emotional development of early childh
ood. Based on various scholarly sources and educational practices, the study seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how the quality of preschool education can be improved and how healthy developmental processes in preschool children can be encouraged. Through the fine arts—such as drawing, music, reading, drama, handicrafts, and dance—children are given the opportunity to develop and enhance their communication in a creative and inclusive manner.
