“…Attributed status included level of education or profession (low level, i.e., garbage collector; no indication regarding level of profession; high level, i.e., teacher, doctor) and figure size defined by length and.width (measured in centimeters and categorized as small, medium, or large). Lowenfeld (1947) and Thomas, Chaigne, and Fox (1989) suggested the idea that for children, large figures represent important people and objects, and small figures represent inferior people and objects. To examine these suggestions, I asked children in Sample 2 to complete the following: "Children who draw a [large/small] person want to convey that...." Two judges who reviewed the answers identified important and strong as the most frequently used adjectives for a large figure.…”

The development of images of "a Jew" and "an Arab" in Jewish Israeli children who were 4-15 years of age was investigated by means of human figure drawings followed by the administration of questionnaires. The drawings were scored on structural and thematic variables. The questionnaires assessed beliefs and intentions. The hypotheses predicted a differential perception of in- and out-groups and peaks in negativity toward the out-group at preschool age and in early adolescence. Results indicate that, irrespective of age, Jewish Israeli children have generalized images of the two ethnic groups. Preschoolers expressed both positive biases toward the in-group and negativism toward the out-group. and early adolescents manifested mainly negative biases toward the out-group. Children in middle childhood and mid-adolescents manifested reductions in both in-group favoritism and out-group negativity.

“…In fact, we found that almost all included studies involved some or all participants aged 6–12 years old in their samples. According to major stages of artistic development (Lowenfeld & Brittain, 1982), children approximately 6–7 years old can make schematic drawings. Usually, children more than 12 years old move to the adolescent stage, which is very different from younger children.…”

The strengths of drawing‐based approaches for encouraging children's participation in health research and facilitating communication with them have been increasingly acknowledged in the medical literature. However, there is a lack of methodological discussion on drawing‐based approaches suitable for researching children living with physical health problems. The present study systematically reviewed qualitative research using drawing‐based approaches on the experiences of children living with physical health problems and summarised how the approaches were used as well. We identified 54 studies from five databases. The characteristics of qualitative methods and drawing‐based approaches were analysed. To obtain an overall understanding of the illness‐related experiences of these children, qualitative data generated from the included studies were synthesised using the thematic synthesis approach. This systematic review highlights the appropriateness and accuracy of the use of drawings‐based approaches in health research with children on their illness‐related experiences, fostering inclusive participation and engagement of young generations.

“…Although some research has explored the visual characteristics of student artwork, the issue is still not fully resolved. In the early 20th century, the study of student artwork focused mainly on visual data such as space, lines, and perspective abilities (Indicated, 1966;Laroche, 2015;Zurmuehien, 1970), without discussing other elements of their artwork (Victoria et al, 2016). In contrast, Loureiro et al used semiotics to analyze student artwork, but this would be more academic if the scope of research were broader (Loureiro et al, 2020).…”

Painting as an art form has the potential to evoke positive emotions and enhance students' well-being. Integrating it into campus art can improve public spaces and cultivate happiness among students. The study aims to explore sketch art's impact on students' happiness and propose adaptable design principles for 3D art on campus. Results indicate artists can effectively use cognitive and visual aspects to create exceptional artworks that harmonize with the campus environment, ultimately elevating student happiness. Further research is recommended to explore how campus art promotes public space development, enhances campus culture, and stimulates student happiness, providing valuable guidance to artists for creating high-quality campus art.
