Abstract

Creative strategies used in drawing practice determine the visual effects of drawing. Drawing strategies reflect children's understanding, association, and summarisation of the visual features of objects. In the case of the human head, visual features are composed of positional, contour, and structural features. This study assessed the creative strategies of children aged 7–12 years based on their drawings of the visual features of the eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, and neck in realistic figures. Children's strategies for creating visual features of the human head were classified into four types: hidden, abstract, summarised, and realistic. The results showed that most children used abstract creation strategies to represent the visual features of the nose and mouth in their drawings. Most children expressed the visual features of the eyes and neck using summarised creative strategies. A few children applied realistic creative strategies to draw the visual features of eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Children used simplified structural features as a strategy to understand the visual features of the human head before creating their drawings. Most of the children tended to express the overall features of the human head with less curvature or number of contour lines in their drawings. Children regard the eyes and mouth as the major elements when drawing the visual features of the human head. Children regard eyebrows, noses, and ears as secondary elements expressing human heads. Accordingly, teachers need to educate children to understand and summarise the visual features of these secondary elements. Teachers also need to guide children in converting the visual elements from their understanding to the graphical elements in drawings.

基于儿童写实人物画中人物头部特征的创意绘画策略研究
绘画练习中使用的创作策略决定了绘画的视觉效果。绘画策略反映了儿童对物体视觉特征的理解、联想和概括。就人的头部而言,视觉特征由位置特征、轮廓特征和结构特征组成。本研究根据 7-12 岁儿童对写实人物的眉毛、眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴、耳朵和脖子等视觉特征的描绘,对他们的创作策略进行了评估。儿童创作人体头部视觉特征的策略分为四种类型:隐藏型、抽象型、概括型和写实型。结果显示,大多数儿童在绘画中使用抽象的创作策略来表现鼻子和嘴巴的视觉特征。大多数幼儿使用概括性创作策略表现眼睛和脖子的视觉特征。少数幼儿用写实的创作策略画出了眉毛、眼睛、鼻子、嘴巴和耳朵的视觉特征。幼儿在作画前采用简化结构特征的策略来理解人头的视觉特征。大多数幼儿倾向于用较少的弧度或轮廓线来表现人头的整体特征。在画人头的视觉特征时,幼儿把眼睛和嘴巴视为主要元素。而眉毛、鼻子和耳朵则是表现头部的次要元素。因此,教师需要教育幼儿理解和概括这些次要元素的视觉特征。教师还需要引导儿童将他们理解的视觉元素转化为绘画中的图形元素。
