Abstract EN

Listening to children and trying to understand their perspectives, thought processes, and experiences is a necessary and vital way of illuminating our understanding of the nature of their thinking.

The purpose of this study is to describe and interpret young children’s shared narrative construction and story acting practices, in the light of their interaction with some artwork for the top artists in the world.

Narrative and story acting offer children unique opportunities to explore ideas, thoughts, and questions.

The study included 20 children from kindergarten in Hofuf Ahsa.

The kindergarteners worked in four separate small groups of five.

Each group took part in 9 sessions.

The children ranged in age from 4.9 to 5.9 years old.

The primary methodology is that of participant observation.

The design of this study is exploratory, descriptive, and interpretive in nature.

The data in this study was gathered via audiotape and observational field notes.

Data analysis primarily consisted of reviewing field notes to identify themes, patterns, events, and actions in the children’s narrative activities as well as to generate working hypotheses.

The results were that the narratives of children are divided into several categories represented in the art talk, personal perspective, facts and behavioral scripts, symbolic activity, personal anecdote.

Allowing for a deeper understanding of the nature of children’s thinking, and the way they become aware of their world.

Research recommends integrating the visual arts programs in reading, writing and playing.

This in itself provides a deeper understanding of young narrators, develops an understanding of the world and reflexions.

All this is included in the curriculum practices ; blending representation with storytelling in the classroom is an important part in children’s educational experience.
