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.
