Abstract

The aim of this paper is to analyze children’s artistic output in the context of creation of an artistic sign. Children’s artistic activity is one of their first and basic forms of non-verbal communication with their environment. The need of drawing is child’s natural need of expression, defined by their psychophysical development. My current research interests are focused on children’s artistic activity as a way of creating an artistic sign and its meaning. This issue stems from observation and analysis of creation of drawn images of an object connected with the impact of a verbal sign (Szuścik 2006). This approach offers a new prospect for the research of children’s drawing activity in terms of the development of drawing signs and their meanings and the processes of communication.
