Abstract
The article presents experimental results of studying the graphic activity of older preschool children with mental retardation in comparison with normally developing peers. The article analyzes modern studies of graphic activity in relation to children with disabilities and with normative development. Scientific works devoted to the graphic activity of preschool children with mental retardation are considered. The author presents a diagnostic program for the study of graphic activity in older preschoolers, aimed at identifying the formation of children's subject and plot drawing, drawing by design; determining the level of development of drawing skills (image proportionality, adequacy of color use, graphomotor skills). Experimental results of the study of the drawings of preschool children with mental retardation in comparison with the normally developing peers are described. The author highlights the features of the formation of the idea, the main characteristics of the subject and scene pictures, describes the color rendering, spatial parameters of the image, the specifics of detailing, hatching, stroke, line technique, etc. The authors sets out the general criteria for evaluating drawing as a type of graphic activity in older preschoolers: the content side of the drawing; independence of the image design; the level of formation of drawing skills; color transfer; development of technical and graphomotor skills. The description of the developed levels of development of drawing in the senior preschool age is presented.
