The Role of Drawing

                   The role of drawing in children's learning is very important and not something to be underestimated.They express their thoughts through the pictures. Their drawings show us how they perceive the world. They are the symbols of their experiences and observations. Drawings are means of communication, actually a different language for them.

As Eisner (2002) told:

How something is said is part and parcel of what is said. The message is in the form-content relationship, a relationship that is most vivid in the arts.

We, as teachers, need to spend quality time on drawing and trying to understand their world.
