畫畫班試堂：窺探孩子心靈，讓我們更了解他們！

Assessment is the key to understanding the child's inner world. Through assessment, we can discover the child's drawing ability, psychological characteristics and potential. This not only helps improve their artistic skills but also develops their creativity and self-expression. The KHTTP drawing assessment method brings the advantage that it combines psychological testing and drawing skills to give us a more comprehensive understanding of the child's mind. By evaluating trial classrooms, we are able to gain a deeper understanding of children's feelings, emotions, and thoughts, and use this understanding to design teaching materials that are more suitable for them. Let’s explore this exciting journey together to learn about your child’s drawing assessment and take their drawing journey to the next level! "Innovative Methods in HTP Drawing Test Hall: Advantages and Characteristics of KHTTP Drawing Assessment" The HTP Drawing Assessment (House-Tree-Person) is a psychological testing method used to understand an individual's drawing expressions of houses, trees, and people. This test can reflect an individual's attitude towards the physical living environment and interpersonal relationships, as well as the unconscious mental representation of the self-concept. Psychologist Robert C. Burns proposed the HTP assessment, which requires the person being assessed to draw a house, a tree, and a person on a piece of paper in an attempt to understand the interrelationships between these three elements. Based on the HTP test, an evaluation method called KHTTP test (Kinetic House Tree Person) was developed, adding some new content. "Improving drawing skills and understanding children's psychology: Evaluating the comprehensive effectiveness of test classroom teaching materials" In our To Kwa Wan studio, we attach great importance to the inner world of children. In order to understand them better, we use KHTTP assessment to evaluate children's drawing ability and mental state. This assessment was developed based on the psychology of dot drawing, combined with the design of our own trial materials. Through such assessment, we can not only understand children's drawing ability, but also gain a deeper understanding of their heart and personality.
