Abstrakt: I assumed that artistic activity performs a role of a drawing-text, by which a child can communicate with the outside world and to overcome the culture of silence which is imposed on him/her by the adults. A six-year-old creator draws things which he/she finds important and shows it through particular signs. Communication and its effect taking form of a drawing given to others constitute a drawing message. A child creates drawings and provides certain sense and meanings for both his/her activity and its visual effect. As a result emerges a new kind of the communication plane between a child and an adult. However, it is not easy to reach an agreement there.
