A Day in the Lifeof young children drawing at home and at school

Abstract

In enacting a quasi-ecological approach to observing young children at both home and school, this study explored young participants’ drawing transactions in and out of school in diverse communities around the globe. We applied a qualitative, visual, ‘Day in the Life’ methodology that films one full Day in their Lives. Using examples of children drawing during their Day, we documented how school and home are contexts populated by significant others whose belief systems impact upon the belief systems of the child. We also examined how drawing is used by children, teachers and family members in a collaborative and communicative manner as a powerful meaning-making tool.
