The present study explored children's cognitive development through their drawings. One hundred
and fifty-two children aged from 4- to 7-years old participated the study. The participants were
asked to copy familiar models-- a tea-pot and a flat wooden animal. Differed from the past studies,
we present the models' canonical orientation to children directly when they were drawing. The
results indicated that there are three kinds of encoding forms in children’s drawings: separate
representation, canonical representation and visual realistic representation. Different aged children
have different dominant representation forms. The changing of the encoding forms is a dynamic
development process.
