Drawings are an important part of child's life. Children can describe their happiness, unhappiness, future dreams, past lives and continuing lives as they want through their drawings. The factors influencing children's drawings can be grouped under two main categories. They are; (1) the factors which are specific to child (species-specific readiness, maturation, age, intelligence, motivation, general state of arousal and anxiety, physiological state, prior experiences, individual differences, and child psychology) and (2) environmental factors (family, school, teacher, peer groups, socioeconomic and cultural status). Considering the fact that child's drawings are influenced from these inner and external factors and are crucial for child's life, the factors influencing children's' drawings are investigated in detail and suggestions are made in this study.
