The Language of Children’s Pictures

Our online activities continue. Every week, we gather with children with certain themes. In our previous activities, we observed that children were able to express themselves more easily by painting. In the Colored Paints activity, children expressed their feelings by drawing pictures about a living thing, person, or object that they value in their lives. After the drawings were finished, we talked with the children who wanted to share them with us about the meaning of their pictures. Children’s comments on their own pictures:

“I drew trains and planes. I want to go to Syria with this train and plane.”

“I drew a sad picture. Because of this Corona, we haven’t been able to go out with my friends for a long time, we can’t play games. Now I want to go to school.”

“I drew a park. Now I want to go out and go to the park with my friends.”
