| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The present study aimed to investigate the evolutionary and developmental origin of human behavior of drawing, advancing the former study on “The cognitive foundations of the drawing process and their development.” We observed spontaneous object play of chimpanzees and considered the difference between imagination in pretend play and representational drawing. Experiments were conducted with human adults using the system of recording the movement of eyes and drawing lines to clarify the underlying cognitive mechanisms for copy drawing. Based on the findings, we considered the cognitive foundations of art and applied them to design the practice of visual arts education for university students majoring in early-childhood education.
