The Analysis of Children's Drawings

Likovni je razvoj važna komponenta u cjelovitom razvitku djeteta. Dijete kroz likovnost istražuje, otkriva, uči i zapaža. Spoznaje sebe kao kompetentno biće. Odgojitelji i roditeljui su osobe koje će mu u tome pomoći. Zato držim kako i roditelji i odgojitelji moraju biti informirani o aspektima djetetova razvoja. Oni su djetetu najbliži pa stoga ne čudi što će dijete najviše stvarati upravo u njihovu prisustvu. Jedna od najbitnijih stvari je pustiti dijete da neometano uživa crtajući, slikajući i na kraju krajeva – stvarajući. U ovome sam radu pokušala sažeti sve bitno što će odgojitelju ili roditelju zatrebati u promatranju razvoja dječje likovnosti. Jednostavno, shvatila sam kako se djetetu često nameću neke stvari i kako dijete često nije slobodno istraživati i kako mu nije dopušteno otkrivati neke nove spoznaje. Shvatila sam kako upravo takvim postupcima mi odrasli kočimo dječji razvoj, a da toga nismo ni svjesni. U želji da dijete što prije napreduje, namećemo mu kako što treba raditi ili nacrtati, a ne dopuštamo ili nemamo strpljenja da pustimo dijete da otkriva samo. Još gore, često sam znala vidjeti kako roditelj ili odgojitelj čini stvari umjesto samoga djeteta. Ali isto tako se kasnije čudimo što dijete zaostaje ili što vidimo da ne ispoljava maštu ili kreativnost onako kako bi dijete to trebalo. Stoga zaključujem kako bi bilo najbolje da poznajemo faze dječjeg likovnog stvaralaštva, da otprilike znamo kako izgleda dječji crtež s obzirom na njegovu dob i što od djeteta možemo očekivati.Artistic development is an important component in a child's overall development. Through art, the child explores, discovers, learns and notices. Learns that he is himself a competent being. Educators and parents are the people who will help him in this. That is why I believe that both parents and educators must be informed about aspects of a child's development. They are closest to the child, so it is not surprising that the child will create the most in their presence. One of the most important things is to let the child enjoy drawing, painting and, ultimately, creating. In this paper, I have tried to summarize everything that an educator or parent will need in observing the development of children's art. I simply realized that some things are often imposed on a child and that the child is often not free to explore and that he is not allowed to discover some new knowledge. I realized that it is precisely by such actions that we adults hinder children's development, without even being aware of it. In order for the child to progress as soon as possible, we impose on him what to do or draw, and we do not allow or have the patience to let the child discover for himself. Worse, I often used to see a parent or educator do things for the child instead of the child himself. But we also later wonder that the child is lagging behind or that we see that he is not showing imagination or creativity the way a child should. Therefore, I conclude that it would be best to know the stages of children's art, to know approximately what a child's drawing looks like given its age and what we can expect from a child
