Abstract
This study revealed how "moving images" are expressed in the process of narrative drawing expression of children in the schematic stage. In this study, drawing process analysis sheets were used and the drawing process of children was examined from the viewpoint of visual context and narrativity. The results indicated the following: 1) Conceptual figures may change flexibly according to the context of the narrative expression. 2) Feelings and experiences may be recalled from figures, and at times may induce moving images. 3) The process of narrative expression may include other means of expression, like gestures; however, there are three stages before this transitions into drawing expression. 4) Sometimes the passage of time is expressed through various characters drawn in a single frame or by adding background to the picture. The passage of time within the drawing process is often reset during the final stages of structuring the picture, creating the possibility of a new narrative.
