Abstract

This study addresses the insufficiency in spatial awareness development in children aged 4 to 5, identified through a diagnostic assessment conducted in an educational institution. The objective of this research was to implement a pedagogical program based on painting techniques aimed at improving children's ability to visually organize objects, adjust proportions, and understand spatial relationships. A mixed methodology was used, combining guided practical activities and qualitative analysis of children's skill progression. The main results show a significant improvement in organizing visual elements, adjusting proportions, and enhanced manual dexterity in handling artistic tools. Repetition-based activities and model observation effectively bridged the gap between theory and practice, confirming the importance of guided practice in learning spatial skills. This program is a valuable tool for cognitive development in early childhood, supported by theories such as Vygotsky’s and Piaget’s, which emphasize the role of active interaction with the environment for cognitive growth.
