ResumoThis article discusses the use of drawing to complement interviews when doing research with children. It is based on a research project that investigated the attributed to work by children of 7 to 8 years of age by using drawing as a resource. In a historical-cultural perspective in psychology, the drawing of a child is understood as a form of language in which the human being creative imagination is expressed. To analyze the results in line with this approach, it is important to consider not only the process of drawing, but also the conditions in which it takes place – which necessarily includes the relationship between the researcher and the research participant – as Contextos Clinicos, 1(1):9-18, janeiro-junho 2008 © 2008 by Unisinos Desenho na pesquisa com criancas: analise na perspectiva historico-cultural Children’s drawing in research: a historical-cultural analysis Michelle Regina da Natividade Professora do Curso de Graduacao em Psicologia da Universidade do Sul de Santa Catarina UNISUL.
