An analysis of spontaneous drawings by children in different cultures

Abstract

This study is based on 602 drawings submitted for exhibition by children, aged six to twelve, from 42 countries. Intercultural differences appear in the drawings. The major trends indicate "a general correspondence between the various aspects or details of the drawing and the concrete cultural or stimulus conditions under which it was produced." Protocols covering the drawings from the various countries are included. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
