Abstract

Before children learn to write and read, they first scribble, draw and use different colors. Based on the drawings made by the children, we can understand different elements of the children's personality and their character, temperament, and in addition to these, we can also understand special skills and talents that the child may possess. The main aim of this research is to know how much pre-school teachers can understand the emotional state of children through drawing and how much children are able to express their emotions through drawing. This research paper has been developed in collaboration with several pre-school teachers from preschool institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, a total of 37 pre-school teachers. Data were collected electronically by means of a questionnaire, which was created with Google Forms. Based on the results of this research, I conclude that, pre-school teachers manage to understand the emotional state of children quite well through their drawings.
