Abstract :
We live in a world surrounded by images and pictures. Children have the ability to construct stories around visual stimulus and interpret it by connecting with their immediate surroundings as well as with their wider community. Projective techniques are often intriguing and fun for the children allowing them to express their feelings which are difficult to access through standard interviews or observation. Visual intelligence is developed early in a child as compared to linguistic intelligence which is why any form of visuals tend to leave a deeper impact in the brains. Using visual and verbal stimulus materials such as photographs, sketches and drawing, the paper attempts to establish that research methodologies applying the use of visual stimulus with children is more effective. A group of images are detailed to explain the in-depth portrayal of the environment by children. The results are discussed using voices of children and the social environment in that particular region.
