A drawing is a work of art created with pens, i.e. materials whose main characteristic is that they leave behind a linear trace and which are mainly used for writing down text. Drawing is the oldest way of human expression, which precedes written communication. Artistic elements that are used in all kinds of artistic expression, including in drawing. Elements of drawing are point, line, texture, tone, surface, space, volume and color. The materials used in drawing are various types of pens which, when used for artistic expression, become a certain drawing technique. According to the nature of the material, drawing techniques are divided into dry and wet techniques. Dry techniques are: pencil, charcoal, chalk. Wet techniques are: ballpoint pen, felt-tip pen and all techniques of working with ink and other liquid media. Although the drawing is two-dimensional, plasticity (three-dimensionality) of the drawing can be achieved in other ways. Monitoring the development of children's art reveals that the very first attempts at artistic expression bring us messages that children send us. A drawing can reveal a lot of information about the inner world of a person, including a child. The aim of this thesis is to investigate, study drawing, explore its history, artistic elements, characteristics of children's drawing and developmental stages, analyze drawing techniques, as well as raise awareness of drawing as an art-visual tool and get information about its importance.
