| In the process of personal growth, people's creativity is difficult to improve under the pressure of family, society, and school. China's social development is blocked because of lacking creative talents. Education in the 21century is called the"creative education"by the educational circle. How to adapt to the objective of"cultivating creative talents"is the emphasis of the work of"creative education"research. The researchers of educational theory realize that the fundamental issue of the cultivation of creative ability is to cultivate creative personality. The cultivation of creative talents must begin from the childhood. Children's art education has an advantage in improving individual's creative ability. The formulation of"Full-time Compulsory Education Art Curriculum Standard (trial version)"shows that high priority has been assigned to the cultivation of creative ability. However, there are many serious problems existing in children's art education. Such issues as demonstration drawing, stick drawing, comments on"like or unlike"and attitude towards competition and grading test are all hot topics at present. This thesis starts a research on this point.The third and the forth chapter are the key part of this thesis. In the third chapter, the author thoroughly discusses the following ten important personalities: independence, observation, imagination, sensibility, understanding, intuition, interest, motivation, quality of thinking, self-control ability.
