What a fun idea! We asked our TASK students to make an illustration on how they see themselves. We saw some very impressive and interesting portraits!
Children’s drawings are their earliest attempts at writing and an important phase in
their overall development. It is a phase when they represent what they have experienced
with their senses when drawing in dry or wet sand, with water on a dry wall or on paper. It is
not easy to use stubby and clumsy little fingers (2-4years) to say what they mean, and that is
why a scribble can be a fire engine, a bat or scramble eggs. Converting thoughts onto paper
is a skill that takes years to develop and goes hand in hand with ‘reading’ their own pictures
by looking at their works of art and reconstructing their own thoughts and feelings before
saying it out aloud.
