Introduction:
Children remain always playful and active in their childhood. They love to express their
thoughts and remain engaged in their playful activities. One of the most popular activities that
the children love in their activities is drawing and painting. Children love to express what in their
mind also to project what they like and have an influence on their mind. (Krenz, 2019)
Discussion
The research methodology applied in this research is content analysis. The research is
based on various journals and articles that have been done to study the child’s mind and
studying their characteristics. The whole research is based on the Secondary Data Analysis,
involving study on various journals and essays. Extensive research been done in the field of
Children Psychology and their Behavioral Characteristics. (Katz, Klages & Hamama, 2018).
Children- draw pictures in two ways either quickly or with passage of time and with great
effort. Thus, there are different emotions and feelings involved in every drawing. The meaning
of their drawings interpreted as one may see fit, but to a child the meaning depends on certain
factors like- their hopes, dreams, visions, wishes and expectations that they find in their drawing.
Their drawings reflect their actual reality and their experiences in their everyday life. Sometimes
these experiences found to be that of the past with a connection to the present and in some with
future. For this reason psychologists are of the opinion to call not that the child draws but that
something is being drawn by the child. Thus, they highlight on the inner feelings and the inner
pictures in the child’s mind that hover around. (Pace, Zavattini & Tambelli 2015).
