Machová, Natálie ; Kucharská, Anna (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
In this thesis freehand drawings of middle school children were analyzed. The main focus was on motifs and themes. Then the conception, frequency and popularity of spontaneous drawings were examined. In this case study ten representatives from second grade were selected and interviewed about their after-school drawings. Subjects were asked about the specific artistic expressions, the details and the sectional facts of their drawings. Thus the freehand drawing conditions in young children were evaluated. I focused mainly on the categories of individual topics of the drawings, the occurrence of a specific motif and their percentages in both the whole group and in the gender subgroups. Further it is indicated there is an influence of modern technology on children's drawings. The study shows the most common themes are motifs of nature especially animals. Despite of school duties and modern age the frequency and the popularity of freehand drawing is relatively high among young school children. KEYWORDS freehand drawings, young school age, motifs and themes of drawings

Michálková, Anna ; Klusák, Miroslav (advisor) ; Presslerová, Pavla (referee)
The thesis studies the role of human figure drawing in Orientační test školní zralosti (i. e. Jirasek's Orientation Test of School Readiness). The starting point is the correspondence between human figure drawing and other tasks in both verbal and non-verbal thinking. For the empirical material we have chosen pre-school children results in Orientační test školní zralosti, including the verbal thinking test and Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices. The aim is to examine correspondence of human figure drawing with other tasks taking into account verbal and non-verbal thinking and logical and infralogic operations. The data was collected in two stages with the interval of four months and therefore it is able to assess durability of findings in time. The thesis is beneficial in terms of qualitative analysis of discovered correspondences and also in developing a theory of abilities tested by the test, especially regarding human figure drawing. Last but not least it is helpful in examining similarities and differences in the ability of children to analyse and synthetize. KEY WORDS: school maturity, drawing, figure, man, writing, points, matrices, verbal thinking, non-verbal thinking, logical operations, infralogic operations, analysis, synthesis
