Abstract :
In this research, analyzing whether 66-72 month old children attending preschool education institutions recognize feelings such as love, happiness, fear, sadness and the colors they use while drawing these feelings was aimed. Study group of this qualitative research is randomly selected 66-72 month old 100 children, 39 girls and 61 boys, who attend a preschool institution in Kağıthane province of İstanbul. In individual practices, children were asked questions about meaning of love, happiness, fear and sadness and asked to draw them. As a result of the research, it was determined that children are able to identify a situation that would cause feeling of love, happiness, fear and sadness even if they are not able to identify mentioned feelings themselves. Moreover, it was found that children tend to use one color, especially black, while drawing negative emotions. However, it was determined that in the drawings that are used more than one color, the colors children use do not differ according to feeling that is drawn.
