Scientists have long proven that the meaning of drawing in psychology is of particular importance for ongoing research. Images drawn without a goal, negative thoughts express the inner world of a person, reveal hidden feelings, anxieties.
Psychologists often ask a child or adult to draw something on a piece of paper to get information. To understand how meaningful an ordinary drawing is, you need to know the decoding of individual objects, lines, and forms of the image's location on the sheet.
The psychology of a child's drawing makes it possible to better understand his inner experiences. In his art, the child reflects everything that is happening in his soul: his peculiarity, his dreams, his desires, his fears. By studying a child's drawing, a specialist can assess the stage of a child's development.
Usually the most informative are the drawings of children aged 5-6 years. At this age, the drawings acquire completeness and already carry a semantic load. The color of the picture can be a way to describe the mood.
But what is the correct interpretation of the baby's drawing? And is it worth worrying if dreary dark, black colors prevail in children's creation?
Drawing is not so much the work of consciousness as the "joint activity" of the conscious and the unconscious. A person of any age, and especially a small child, projects his emotions, feelings, experiences onto the image, therefore the drawing is this is a "painted sincere story" about what worries and interests him.
Drawing something, the child conveys his attitude towards him, which means that he will necessarily "tell" first of all what is important to him. Therefore, the baby is trying to draw first of all key people - close, loved, or desperately unloved.
Those people who occupy a central place in the child's soul are sure to be present in the drawings, and stand out with bright colors, beautiful details, significant size, location on the sheet "above all".
If the baby suddenly did not draw any of the family members (maybe even himself), or depicts him dull, pale, expressionless, and far from others, if the baby corrects the drawing many times or even erases it, as if it did not work out - this an alarming signal, the reasons for which are worth considering. Rather, together with a child psychologist.
What features of a child can be recognized thanks to the psychology of drawing?
According to researchers of pictorial methods of psychodiagnostics, these are, as a rule:
1. The level of general mental development of the child
2. Activity or passivity of the child, is there impulsivity, how much the child is emotionally stable
3. Anxiety (as a personality trait) and anxiety (as a condition at the time of examination)
4. Children's fears; whether the child has a tendency to depression. The child's reactions to stress (aggression or withdrawal)
5. What is the child's level of aggression (and also what are its forms: physical and verbal, defensive and neurotic aggression)
6. What is typical for a child - the desire for communication (extroversion) or, conversely, for his inner world (introversion)
7. What is dominated by a rational or emotional approach to the world around.
8. Is there a tendency to demonstrative behavior
9. Whether the child's need for communication is satisfied, or maybe the child avoids communication.
10. The degree of adaptation to society and the ability to adapt to people
11. The attitude of the child to the family as a whole and to individual family members.
A drawing is always a separate case and it should be considered only in combination with the child's other behavior, as well as with his comments on the drawing and with his family situation.
