Children's drawing can tell a lot. It reflects the child's vision of the world. The kid, not owning any drawing technique, transfers his thoughts, feelings, attitudes towards people to paper.
Family
Only after learning to hold a pencil, the child tries to depict a person on a sheet of paper. At first, it's just a circle (face) and dots (eyes). The child draws arms and legs with small lines-sticks - it turns out a little man.
In the future, the little men become different, acquiring their own, only inherent features. The kid draws himself and the people closest to him - mom, dad, brothers, sisters. So, mom gets a curly hairstyle, and dad gets a beard.
In a child's drawing, you can see the relationship in his family. The closer this or that family member is to the child, the more the child trusts him. Drawing details also speaks of love or dislike of the baby.
Nature
Natural phenomena are one of the first subjects of children's drawings. The sun is depicted in the form of a circle with sticks-rays, clouds - in the form of karakul. In such simple ways, the child draws objects of nature that are understandable to him.
As the child grows up, trees and flowers are added to the drawing. First, a primitive and then a more complex image is observed. The branches become more detailed, numerous, and the trunk becomes more solid and strong.
The color of a child's drawing reflects his inner state. Dark colors mean anxiety, depression, depression. Bright, juicy colors speaks of the child's cheerfulness, his inner harmony.
Holidays
Holidays leave vivid impressions for the child, which he transfers to the drawing. New Year is one of the favorite holidays for children. Traditional attributes - Christmas tree, Santa Claus, Snow Maiden - become characters for children's drawings.
Letters to Santa Claus can also be made in the form of a picture. This is how the child talks about what he would like to receive as a gift.
Every year, celebrating holidays in the family, kindergarten or school, the child begins to give his drawings as gifts. Hand-drawn postcards are especially pleasant to receive. They reflect the child's direct relationship to the world around them, remind of the simplicity of some things.
If the kid is preparing a gift for dad for Defender of the Fatherland Day, then in the drawing he depicts a star, a tank, a car or an airplane. For him, dad is the main man in the house, he is strong and brave.
For mom, the drawing reflects a more delicate theme. The child draws mother's favorite flowers, sweets, himself with his mother. This is how he expresses his love, attention and caring attitude. Having saved such gifts, parents will subsequently be able to compare the dynamics of the development of drawing skills in their child.
