Abstract
Painting is a language in which children express their feelings and thoughts.The images created in children's drawing and illustrations often come from creative thinking and specific subjectivity.
recognizing the themes and creative features of children's paintings and correctly interpret them, helps us to understand how they think.These themes are different from a culture to another one.
In this research, the features of creative thinking in children’s paintings from 3 to 5 years old have been studied.
The method of this research is " thematic content analysis". The population of the study is kindergartens in Tehran and a sample of 100 children from 10 kindergartens in different districts of Tehran. The results of the research indicate that children tend to express their thoughts and feelings through painting and they innovatively use the colors, lines and shapes in order to transfer their thoughts rather than being truly faithful to the real world.
