| dc.description.abstract | The article comprises research results concerning types of spatial relations and strategies implemented by children
in verbal and graphic construction and interpretation of the space of the city and the road. It was established
that children verbalise different spatial relations, such as biogravitational, topological, of perspective and of
relocation; however, their mutual balance alters in ontogenesis. It was also found, having analysed children’s
verbalisations, that children use various strategies to depict space depending on the location and type of activity
in its area. The data obtained indicate that it is the space that constitutes the area of their activity that is
important for children, and of secondary importance are the perception or intellectual spheres. It can also be
noticed that the child’s mind is constantly engaged in analysing various experiences and modifying the image and
structure of reality. That is why children change their image of the space in artwork. The results from research
lead to the general conclusion that children search for order, which in drawing is represented in simple but
logical structures that demonstrate the children’s world image. | en_EN |
