Abstract: Appreciation of fine arts involves physically observing a work, which can then be internalized, understood, enjoyed, and appreciated for its aesthetic values and artistic principles. The process of appreciation itself is often neglected, highlighting the importance of cultivating it from an early age with the support of educators and parents. In line with this, the research aims to address the following problem statements: 1) What is the essence of children’s fine arts education? 2) How do children develop the ability to appreciate fine arts? 3) What role do educators and parents play in fostering children’s appreciation of fine arts? This research utilizes a qualitative method to gather descriptive data from secondary sources, such as collections of books, scientific journals, e-books, and other relevant sources. The results of this research are as follows: 1) Fine arts education for children is highly important as it contributes to the holistic development of the child’s personality. 2) Developing children’s appreciation of fine arts in a multifaceted manner is crucial, as it enhances sensory, cognitive, attitudinal abilities, and motor skill development, thereby benefiting the child’s overall life and development. 3) Collaboration between educators and parents can facilitate an appropriate approach to guide children in the process of appreciating fine arts.
