Drawing on a blank piece of paper is like entering a room.
It's your stage. How will you approach your entrance? Where will you place yourself?
Will you be in the middle big and noticeable?
Will you be in a corner small and invisible so nobody will notice you?
While drawing a person, the brain sends deep personal information through
your hands and colors to the paper.
Research has shown that children who have been abused and humiliated are reluctant or even unable to draw a person. If they do draw a person they try to draw just
parts of a person :- just the head or make a joke out of the drawing to avoid
drawing a "real" person.
These children/adults can then be encouraged to draw a tree, house, sun, or just
enjoy the colors on the paper. |
