Summary/Abstract: Educating the capacity to visually render the images of a musical piece, in children, requires that they already have a certain amount of knowledge and skills, both musical and graphical. The mutual influence between the musical activity and the painting one is attained in two directions: on one hand, the musical image influences the children's drawings and, on the other hand, the visual image helps children perceive the emotional nuances of music more profoundly. Overall, art and the artistic phenomenon, in general, play an important part in the multilateral educational process. The artistic act and its evolution, as compared to the children's various activities, help them develop an integral, creative and sensitive personality.
