أثر الثقافة البصرية والعوامل البيئية في تنمية التخيل وبناء الصور في رسومات الأطفال
The importance of this study is in exploring children ability of imagining and building images through drawing, in addition to measuring the impact of visual culture and environmental factors in their imagining development. The study sample consisted of 62 children of the sixth grade in the city of Al-Ahsa during 2017-8 school year. A scale for imagination and building images was used after tuning and testing for stability and validity. The study adopted descriptive and experimental approaches in this study to investigate the ability of children to imagine and build images and their relationship to the variables of the study. The mathematical averages were calculated for sample responses and T-test was used on the scale of imagination and building images in children's drawings. The results of the study showed that there are differences in the pre and post- tests in favor of the post-test of the experimental group in the ability to imagine and build images. In addition, a statistically significant differences existed between the experimental and control groups in favor of the experimental group in the ability to imagine and build images by drawing. The study recommended that there is a need to provide real opportunities for children to interact with the external environment, which helps them to develop the ability to imagine and build images through drawings.
