Abstract
Previous scientific studies in primary school students have indicated differences between girls and boys in many aspects of children’s drawings, including factors of creativity. To some extent, these gender differences arise as a consequence of gender specificities in children’s artistic development. However, the effect of gender on creativity remains ill defined. In the present study, we examined gender differences in measures of visual art-related creativity, including progress in creative development and the linear relationship among factors of creativity in 18 second-grade primary school students. Visual art-related creativity was tested twice during the school year using a drawing test. Our results provide new evidence for gender-specific characteristics of processes involved in creativity expressed through drawings in early school-age students.
