Wordless Wednesday: Kids’ Drawings from Around The World

Kids' Drawings From Around The World

“When I see a white piece of paper, I feel I’ve got to draw. And drawing, for me, is the beginning of everything.”

Award winning illustrator, Chris Riddell, advocates the importance of drawing with children. He even emphasize that drawing with children should be placed alongside reading a bedtime story. However, the importance of kids’ drawings are not only related to the development of artistic skills. It goes even broader to understanding children’s thinking and their interpretation of the world. This wordless wednesday post showcases the different drawings of children around the world and the concepts and symbols made by their creative hands.

  1. Adorable drawings! Despite the very different beliefs and world views that exist in the world, there are clearly somethings that are universally “human”. Art is one of those things.
