ABSTRACT
F rom the point of view of psychology, the study of children's drawing has quite particular interest. An uninterrupted series of a child’s spontaneous drawings gives, as it were, a psychographic representation of the growth of the child's mind during the time when it was still developing freely and naturally, without any kind of compulsions from school or instruction. It may be objected, it is true, that the mental process behind the child's drawing is a special and peculiar one, so that no conclusion can be arrived at concerning general mental development from an examination of the drawing. The fact that this objection does not hold good is shown by the wide parallelism that can be proved to exist between the child's drawing and its speech, its formation of concepts and its thinking.
