| सारांश: | Issues about low perception and limited information on children’s drawings in
Malaysia has led to the need of analysis of children’s drawings. This study studied and
analyzed drawings of a group of Malaysian primary school children of six age groups
based on Wilson and Wilson (2009) seven graphic principles. A quantitative research
design was adopted. A total of 335 children’s drawings were analyzed to identify the
most common used Wilsons’ graphic principle and determine the use of the principles
according to their age groups by using descriptive statistic method. In order to
determine the relationships between children’s used of Wilsons’ graphic principles and
their stage of pictorial development, inferential testing by using Chi-Square was
conducted. The findings of this study show that; conservation/multiple application
principle was the most common Wilsons’ graphic principle that children used in their
drawing, and there were similarities and differences in the use of principles for each
children’s age groups. In addition, the Chi-Square test indicated significant association
between children’s used of every principles and their stage of pictorial development
with all p values ≤ .05. Thus, it can be concluded that children’s artistic development
can be established using the Wilson and Wilson seven graphic principles. A continued
need exists for further research to be conducted to make comparisons between gender
and between cultures.
