Drawings that kids create are awesome.
They are so innocent and honest and are a great way to realize their imagination (on paper).
Lord knows they have all kids of wild stuff going on in their brains and imaginations, so why not get some of it down on paper to make room for more stuff in there.
As a semi-guest post today, my boy’s drawing will serve as my inspiration.
What I think is interesting about this drawing is the use of various symbols in many ways. I believe this may be because kids are naturally visual learners (in a variety of capacities) and so, symbols stick in their minds quite easily.
Furthermore, because their own lexicon of words is limited, they depend on the use of symbols as a way of communicating and understanding. (However, I am not an expert on this at all, I just believe this idea could be true specifically for this drawing.)
Also, the speed in which their thoughts change and refine is quite remarkable, (given the scribbling out and re-drawing of things) in this regard, drawing seems to be a great way to think, question, re-visit, and inform thinking. Pretty amazing stuff.
Then again, perhaps instead maybe its just some early signs of paranoia…….
