 Regardless of who the author is, the drawing always reflects the inner world and human psychology. Different people paint the same picture in their own way. Everything that is drawn on paper initially appeared in the head. Each person selects forms, colors, plot according to their ideas, mood, worldview. This is especially evident in children. Conclusions about the state of mind of the child can be drawn from different drawings created over two to three months.
What should you pay attention to when studying children's drawings? Let's consider this issue in more detail.
1. First, on the plot of the drawing. Most often in the drawings there are birds, people, trees, flowers, grass, clouds, sky and sun. If the child has not portrayed people, then perhaps he has difficulties in communicating with others. The large presence in the picture of evil creatures, pointed objects indicates the psychological stress of the child. However, there are exceptions, if a six-year-old boy draws a "war", a soldier, a dinosaur, then this is quite normal due to his age and perception of the world. Girls at this age draw dolls, princesses, brides, this is also normal.
2. Secondly, the dominant color. Color means momentary experiences, mood, emotions. It is worth paying attention when the baby draws objects with colors that they are not in life, and if the colors are exaggerated in scale. Let's take a look at each color separately.
• gray color means the child's anxiety;
• black - experiences, depression, despondency;
• red color indicates aggression, conflict situation, emotional irritation;
• pink color - the color of tenderness, affection, sensitivity, loyalty;
• yellow - excellent mood, joy, fun, desire to live, inspiration;
• blue color means calmness, self-confidence, good adaptive skills, adequacy;
• green - humility, peace, stability.
Whatever the color of the figure, its complete shading indicates that the child is anxious and worried about something. The fact that the child has completely painted over from the inside makes him afraid.
3. Thirdly, on the size of the picture and the main details. If the drawing itself, relative to the entire paper size, is depicted small, this means that the child feels insecure, infringed, flawed, timid, and is anxious. The location of the picture above the horizontal line in the center means that the child has high self-esteem, and that he does not like his role in the team.
Conversely, if a child draws large figures, then he gives them a very important role in his life. If, among the small details, he draws large, for example, his friend, then this friend has the greatest influence on him, and the rest are not so weighty for him. If in the picture the main character in the picture has his hands down, this suggests that the author has some difficulties in communicating with people. If the size of the head is increased in comparison with the body, then the child prefers the mind over the feelings. He appreciates the same in people. If a child draws big ears, it means that public opinion greatly influences him and his decision-making.
Summing up the article, I would like to note that the main thing in the drawing is a generalized impression of it. You can draw colorfully scary, dull pictures, or you can draw with a simple pencil the most beautiful vase with the most beautiful bouquet of flowers. As Kozma Prutkov used to say: "Look at the root!" It is necessary to figure out what is the meaning of this picture the child wanted to convey to you.
