Throughout history, art educators / researchers have studied the responses of children to art in order to develop programmes that include the critical analysis of works of art. While much of the above research is considered significant in developing artistic activities for young children, the study of art within visual culture engages the learning of a range of visual forms emphasizing its multiple functions and meanings. Thus, an exploratory study was designed to gather information regarding 6-8 year old childrenâs responses to visual reproductions of images. An open-ended interview procedure was used. Four reproductions of visual images were selected: a realistic painting, an abstract painting, a photograph with social- political meaning and a popular culture image. The sample included 17 participants (8 boys and 9 girls) between the ages of 6 and 8 years, drawn randomly from nine primary schools in urban areas of Nicosia, Cyprus. Findings indicated that children identified the human source and the medium used for each visual image. In many cases, childrenâs responses demonstrated a strong influence by media. The study identified some relevant factors underlying childrenâs responses to a range of visual forms and highlights their potential for critical reflective thinking using appropriate methods and approaches.
