This bachelor thesis is a study of the theoretical area of composition and the development of children's drawings. It is structured into two parts. The first part focuses on the theory of art composition and the development of a child's drawing, while the second part applies said theory to concrete examples of children's drawings and their composition is analysed in detail.
Art composition is one of the most important factors that constitute and influence an artwork. The artist can be cognisant of its power while creating an artwork and knowingly take composition into account, or they can simply disregard all its principles - composition is present in the final product regardless. Composition in an artwork can be discussed, therefore, regardless of the intention of the artist. The exploration of this unintentional inclusion of composition is the focal point of the second part of this thesis. Children draw freely, relaxed and without thinking; the final product is spontaneous. This thesis is interested in the results of the analysis of children's drawings, more accurately the drawings of Ronja, a 7-year-old proficient in art. Five drawings made for an art contest are put under inspection.
