Expressive activity of children

Drawing activity children have long attracted the attention of researchers as a possible method to study the internal state of the little man, his ability to reflect the world, the world of their experiences. The application of symbolic techniques to study the personality of the child is important. It received wide circulation both in this country and abroad. Important role in the development of studies of children’s drawings played A. V. Clark, M. Good, G. Kerchensteiner, E. H. Knudsen.
Research in the field of children’s fine art worked O. I. Galkin, E. I. Ignatiev, I. P. Sakulina G. V. Labunskaya, V. Z., Denisova, L. N. Bocharnikov, V. S. Mukhina.
Analyzing children’s work, many authors draw attention to the fact, as in them is transferred to the surrounding of the child’s reality and what personal meaning is involved. Researchers of children’s drawings emphasize that it is portrayed, and, in essence, no different from the verbal story. Actually, this story is made in a shape that you want to be able to read it.
Thus, we can say that expressive activity of children thus far studied quite extensively. We will focus only on the preschool children.
By the end of 3 years of life the baby shows great interest in the fine art, realizes that the figure he can translate any of the content. Under the condition of systematic use of visual material he possessed under the guidance of adult basic techniques of working with pencil, brush, paint, clay action with a free, bold and confident. He boldly and independently draws, sculpts what he wants, being sure that he is doing well. The feeling of the baby need support to develop. This is an important condition for the emergence of more autonomy, a prerequisite for creative expression in child art process.
Despite the extreme imperfection of their figures, the child is in this age tackles for transferring on paper the most difficult of subjects: the favorite themes of his “art” are people and animals. Simple in its form objects, it stops almost exclusively on homes. Things such as Cup, glass, cupboard, flower, tree, even the relatively rare are the source of his inspiration, or rather, only when they are somehow connected with “favorite” topics. In his selection, therefore, is not guided by the simplicity of the subject and a moment in this he is everywhere the greatest interest – the movement (the dynamism of children’s drawings). Even the house, of course something static, some dynamic is endowed with a sign: of his pipe always smoke.
Different authors contribute to the development of techniques of illustration on the same topic, which become a very powerful diagnostic tool. Despite the differences in schemes of interpretation, variations of the procedures can be divided into the basic parameters of interpretation of the figure of the family: a) the structure drawing of the family; b) features drawn family members; C) the drawing process.
The interpretation of the pattern structure of the family (the arrangement of the figures, a comparison of the compositions of the drawn and real families). After receiving the instruction “draw your family”, the child does not simply solve the creative task, but first and foremost a particular way of structuring social imaginary situation. It is believed that such a task provides the child the opportunity to Express their feelings to other members of the family, subjective evaluation of one’s own place in the family. These psychological parameters are reflected in the characteristics of the family structure and, therefore, can be identified by a specialist. This approach based on the hypothesis that the structure of the pattern of the family is not accidental but is related to experience and perceived intrafamilial relationships. Features of graphical presentations of family members Express feelings child to them, the way a child perceives them, what characteristics of family members more meaningful, which is alarming provided for the post by International Adoption research blogger and columnist.
The most famous test F. Godina “draw a man” as a method of diagnostics of intelligence, it is also popular in the world of psycho-diagnostic practice. This method is widely used as a component of the comprehensive examination of a child. It is important to emphasize that despite repeatedly confirmed the high reliability of the test, most experts believe that the self-diagnostic value of the test has almost no. Be limited to one source test of the examination of the child is inadmissible; the test can act as part of the examination.
Due to the fact that the majority of preschool and primary school children love to draw, these tests can help to establish contact with the child and establish the cooperation necessary to conduct surveys using more sophisticated diagnostic techniques.
As one of the important types of children’s activity, drawing not only expresses some results of the mental development of the child, but also provide the development leads to the enrichment and restructuring of the mental properties and abilities. The pursuit of art from self-doubt – because it shows that everyone can calmly Express their point of view and that he wants to understand. And overconfidence, as it becomes clear how much work you should put in a good work. While art is the release of accumulated creative energy, self-realization through artistic embodiment in the work of the movements of the soul. This is the art therapy work that balances the mind and feelings, restores emotional balance.
In early works children expressed happiness that brings the art to children. However, the appointment of children’s creativity to soften the storms of life. Therefore, it is necessary that in childhood were more creative joy of life, as it is the pledge of the future peace of strength and balance.
