Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine children's acquisition processes of multiple perspectives of natural objects in the "as if" drawing activity. Four-year-old and five-year-old children performed "as if" drawing in a group. The major findings were that the four-year-old children found contour similarities between the natural object and visual image they have, and they shared their findings with friends. On the other hand, the five-year-old children found partial similarity between the natural object and visual image they have, and they elaborated their visual images in a cooperative relationship with their friends.
