In this video, one child wants the hair on her person’s head to have a “part” so it will look like hair instead of a hat. Another child wants to represent the density of grass, so she shifts from rounded to spiky waves. A third child wants to represent the diversity of flowers in color and size. Observation of children’s drawing offers us an opportunity to see children “reinvent” common objects and thereby to see what children know. Their choices represent a form of graphic literacy that is analogous to expressing thoughts in print. When we watch a video clip in real-time, we are able to study the narrative and sequence of the drawing process, information missed when we look only at the finished drawing.
