Kodikasta

Kodikasta is a term sometimes used to refer to specific types of children's drawings or artwork that depict a scene or story. It is often characterized by its abstract and imaginative qualities, with figures and objects rendered in a simplified, symbolic manner. These drawings may not adhere to realistic proportions or perspectives, reflecting a child's unique interpretation of the world. The term "kodikasta" is not a formally recognized art historical term but rather a colloquial description. These artworks are often valued for their spontaneity, emotional expression, and the insight they provide into a child's developing cognitive and creative abilities. They can capture fleeting moments of imagination and personal narrative, offering a glimpse into a child's inner world. The visual language of kodikasta often includes bright colors, bold lines, and a playful arrangement of elements. While the specific meaning of a kodikasta drawing can be personal to the child who created it, viewers often find joy and meaning in their directness and uninhibited creativity.
