Many of the children's paintings revealed quite delicate aesthetic talent, brilliant color harmony, and unique composition. In particular, some children included in their paintings funny motifs and color blocks, full of innocent decoration, containing sincere emotions of the world of children. The children's paintings used a variety of materials such as watercolors, colored powders, wax pencils, colored pencils, or available materials such as stickers, beans, rice, seashells, snail shells, sand, gravel, fabric, colored threads, etc., surprising and delighting the viewers.

In addition, the ability to express figurative thinking and emotions and feelings in drawings is developed according to each age. In primary school, children's drawings are very funny, with cheerful colors, simple and unconstrained strokes without many details but full of emotions and soaring imagination. Secondary school students, at this age, have the ability to observe, analyze and make more mature comments, know how to look at the structure of the image to arrange the composition, many children are proficient in handling materials.
