PROBLEM SOLVING ON CANVAS      PHILIPPE HALABURDA STUDIO, NEWBURGH, NY, USA     MARCH 2024

Cognitive milestones

About the theme of "cognitive milestones"

As a father of an 18-month-old daughter, I am keenly aware of the significance
of cognitive milestones in her development.

These milestones serve as guideposts, allowing me to understand how
she learns and grows.

Mental development is particularly crucial at this stage, encompassing many skills such as thinking, learning, exploring, and problem-solving.

These abilities shape her understanding of the world and lay the foundation
for her language and social skills.  

I try to translate the complexity of cognitive development onto canvas through
a minimal composition adorned with a palette of pink colors.

Using color tapes, yarn, and LEGO bricks, I symbolize each component
of this intricate process.

The soft hues of pink evoke a sense of innocence and curiosity, reflecting
my  daughter's tender age as she navigates her cognitive journey.  

Each element on the canvas represents a facet of cognitive development,
from the vibrant color tapes denoting the expansive realm of learning
to the intricate yarn strands symbolizing the interconnectedness
of various mental skills.

The LEGO bricks serve as tangible markers of problem-solving and exploration, inviting viewers to contemplate the multifaceted nature
of cognitive growth.

Through this abstract representation, I seek to capture the essence of my daughter's cognitive milestones and celebrate the wonder of her evolving mind.
