Painting reveals secret feelings of children depending on their mental and sensual development phases and tells about their true life experiences. It is recently observed that drug use in children seeing psychiatrists and psychologists has increased due to various reasons, such as unhappiness and depression.
Based on our observations, “Painting Analysis Event” was organized for children living in Küçükçekmece with the collaboration of Küçükçekmece Municipality.The event aimed to assess child development in various aspects; draw attention to importance of their paintings, interpret what they draw, which color they use and what they try to tell in their paintings and improve the skills of children with projects focusing on sharing among children. The participant children were requested to draw a “Family Picture”.
Paintings of children were assessed and each parent were interviewed to inform them about their lives. With this event, children had a little opportunity to reflect their dreams in papers and tell about their and fears and concerns in their subconscious through painting.
