What your Kid's Artwork Reveal

Below are 3 articles that give some amazing psychological insights into a kid's mind via their artwork.

Children love to draw, and their work is a reflection of their inner world. Most kids don't think about or censor their artwork. For the past 40 years, Dr. Martin Stein used children's drawings as an important part of his pediatric practice. At each well-child visit beginning at 4 or 5 years old, their nurse asked the child to "draw a picture of  your family doing something." To simplify the process, each exam room is equipped with blank white paper on a clipboard with a black felt pen. Read more



As a five year old, all my brother wanted to draw were enormous bonfires burning everything in their path and emitting thick, choking black smoke.

Children’s drawings, doodles and sketches have been the subject of study now for over a hundred years, and new theories and ideas about what they mean, how they develop, and how they can be used both educationally and therapeutically, are arising all the time. This week, I’m going to look at whether children’s drawings, especially younger children, can give any psychological insights into their character and thinking.  There is a school of thought that believes that children’s scribbles and doodles are in fact deeply revealing of intelligence, personality and emotional state, in the same way graphologists believe that handwriting is for adults.

Artwork
I bought a couple of canvas frames and acrylic paints for my daughter today and decided I should paint with her. I only bought yellow, red, white and blue. These colors are enough to mix and make other major colors. I wanted to make something simple and yet something that my kids would be excited to see. So the idea of mixing candy with nature - The Lollipop Garden :-)

Art and the brain

Most educators and parents agree that the arts should have a place in the early childhood curriculum. Parents rarely ask "Why?" when they hear that their children will spend time drawing, painting, sculpting, dancing, or playacting activities during the day in child care.

How Arts Training Improves Attention and Cognition.

By: Michael I. PosnerPh.D., and Brenda Patoine
If there were a surefire way to improve your brain, would you try it? Judging by the abundance of products, programs and pills that claim to offer “cognitive enhancement,” many people are lining up for just such quick brain fixes. Recent research offers a possibility with much better, science-based support: that focused training in any of the arts—such as music, dance or theater—strengthens the brain’s attention system, which in turn can improve cognition more generally. Furthermore, this strengthening likely helps explain the effects of arts training on the brain and cognitive performance that have been reported in several scientific studies - See more...
