Description

In this paper, the development of body-awareness of children in the kinder-garten; body drawings, recognition of body parts and body action expressions of 3-year-old preschoolchildren were studied. The following are the findings.<br>1. There was a marked individual difference in the recognition of body parts, varying from the highest score; 19 to the lowest score; 7 out of 21 body parts.<br>2. As for the expression of body action, “waving one's hand” was recognized 62%, “bending over”; 12%, “bending one's knee”; 44%, and “bending one's arm”; 22% in later-half-3-year-old boys.<br>3. In comparison with the Development Process of “Human” by Rhoda Kellog, those body drawings showed a marked variety from something like a scribble to rather a complete human image.<br>4. The body drawings occupied a bigger drawing area, and the scores were also higher at the body drawing B than the body drawing A.<br>5. No correlation was found among the drawing area size of body drawing, physical characteristics such as height and weight, and body parts.
