Abstract

This paper discusses artistic and creative processes considering books designed specifically for children. The data and considerations in this text were part of a doctoral study in visual arts at the Universidade Estadual de Campinas, Brazil, which analyzed the processes of artists creating visual narratives and the reading of these visual images by preschool children. Several interviews with Brazilian and French artists were conducted, in which they discuss their intentions, objectives and ideas at the time of creation, considering the children. I have used two different but interrelated frames of reference, the writings of E. H. Gombrich and Fayga Ostrower. It is essential to understand the creative process to be able to comprehend the finished work, which is understand to be the result of questionings, choices and changes made throughout the creative trajectory. In this sense, the intention becomes visible; to offer young readers images that instigate thought, feed the imagination and educate the eye to other visual languages.
