Guy Barbichon : Village and City Space in Children's Imagery : An Analysis of Children's Drawings.
A thematic and structural analysis has been made of pictures drawn by children who are, on the average, six years old and reside either in a large urban building block or in a rural district. These pictures have as themes the village, the city and the habitat. Isomorphism and « ecocentrism » characterize the drawings of rural children who project, topologically and architecturally, the village onto the city. In their designs, the theme of the habitat ddminates. As opposed to city children, they also have as reference an extended space which is topologically complex. City children's drawings of urban and rural space are marked by the discontinuity of their images : their drawings of the city center around a commercial place (the supermarket), those of the countryside, around the natural places for leisure or picturesque farming scenes. Only city-dwellers invoke the model of the rustic farm. The absence among city-dwellers of a graphically composed space does not exclude the possibility of their drawing an extended social space which could be found in other ways.
