Drawing with children starts as a everyday activity since the young developing age. Drawings can be a powerfull tool of comunication with which a child can get to know it's own surroundings, so its very important for the intelectual, emotional and social developing of the child. In the theory part I'm observing the meaning of child drawing and their visual attributes. Observing childrens work we can notice a whole of visual simbols that have their meaning and can tell us the developing stage the child is currently in. That's the subject that I will be focused on in the begining of this senior thesis, I decided for the point of wiev of the author Grgurić N. i Jakubin M., 1996., which imply that the visual attributes are identified by four developing phases. Phase of expresing in primary simbols, phase of expresing in complex simbols, phase of intelectual realism and the last phase of vizual realism. The following consists of getting to know and explaining the motives and portraits in the childs artistic expression. The human form is on of the basic and common motive in drawing where they start to show it at aroung age four. In the early age the draw all the faces the same way and mostly have eyes,mouth and nose. At the age of five and older they get a sense of shape,kind and colour of the hair. In the eyes the iris is appearing, mouths can be open, closed, smiling, with teeth or without. The practical part of the thesis consists in preparing for leading an activity in a kindergarten, childs artistic works created by participating in the activities and review on childrens work. Goal of the activity was to observe the differences in children in their artistic expresions,get them a closer view of the term portrait and autoportrait and encourage children on developing the skill of imagination and reminisence.
