The paper presents a qualitative report of a study that examined the drawings of children in selected schools in Kumasi, Ghana. It was a qualitative inquiry involving children in public schools within the ages of eight to ten years. The drawings formed the principal instrument for the data collection after purposively sampling four public schools in different locations in the Kumasi Metropolis in Ghana. Some of the major findings were that children have a natural inclination for self expression and the drawings offered a means for the children to express their experiences. Also, the children’s drawings offered clues to their feelings, mood, behaviour and personality traits. In addition, it was concluded that drawing could be used to understand the expressive capabilities of children in different locations; it is therefore recommended that drawing exercises should be more interactive and teachers must engage the learners in more conversations to understand them.
