The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among children’s creativity, language ability, and drawing representational ability. The subjects were 159 five-year-old children attending a kindergarten located in Kdo and Ssi. The mean ages of the subjects were 65.29 months. Torrence’s Tests of Creative Torrence (TTCT), ‘The Construction Meaning Comprehension Test’, and ‘The Drawing Representation Inventory’ were used in the collection of data. The study also used Pearson’s correlation and Multi-Regression Analysis to analyze the data. The results of this study are as follows. First, there was partially positive correlation between children’s creativity and language ability. Second, there was partially positive correlation between children’s creativity and drawing representational ability. Third, it was revealed that ‘harmonious composition’ and ‘diverse color’, sub-elements of drawing representational ability were found as the predictive variables that affected children’s creativity.

본 연구는 유아의 창의성, 언어능력, 그리고 그리기 표상능력 간의 관계를 분석하고, 유아의 창의성에 영향을 미치는 예측변인을 밝히는데 목적이 있다. 연구대상은 유치원에 재원중인 만 5세 유아 159명으로 평균월령은 65.29개월이었으며, Torrance의 창의성 검사, 구문 의미 이해력 검사, 그리고 그리기 표상능력 검사도구를 사용하여 연구자료를 수집하였다. 수집된 연구자료는 Pearson 적률 상관계수와 중다회귀분석을 통해 검증하였다. 연구결과, 유아의 창의성은 언어능력과 그리기 표상능력 간에 부분적으로 상관관계가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 유아의 그리기 표상능력의 하위요인인 ‘조화로운 구성’과 ‘다양한 색채’는 유아의 창의성에 유의미하게 영향을 미치는 예측변인으로 밝혀졌다.
