Art theory itself suggests by its very name that with its theoretical approach it can be presented as a scientific branch of fine arts. It acquaints the reader with the theory of art as a grammar, which serves the creator or viewer to be aware of the art form and thus gives him a more comprehensive insight into the work of art, and can also serve as a tool of communication. Awareness visually means awareness of visual language and thus strengthens the ability to understand and use visual language, with which we can express what is largely meaningless, impractical and impossible to express through verbal language. (Butina, 1997a) Visual language is based on the ability of the visual, sensory perception of the physical world around us. For a human being who is of a visual nature, raising awareness of the visual through visual language is important for everyday functioning in modern society, as it largely communicates through visual stimulators. Empowering a person to consciously feel can also be essential in shaping one's own values, principles and, above all, the possibility of Compassion. A society permeated with compassion, awareness, as well as rational, logical development is a society that sums up the best results of individual cultures from history and modern times. It gives a person the opportunity for mental activity, mental development and self-improvement through (self) awareness, and compassion empowers him in understanding others and himself as part of the whole world. By understanding the work of visual language and encouraging a child in early childhood, when the child is not yet fluent in verbal language, to increase the use of visual language, we increase the possibilities of communication at a level that actually surrounds the child throughout his waking hours (if the child has no injury of the eyes, vision or brain). This level is marked by the visual as a mode of perception and the visual as a language.
