Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北教育大學 === 藝術與造形設計學系碩士班 === 104 === In this study, the relationship between elementary school students' mental imagery and their cartoon drawing aptitude was examined. The research is group based where all participants were sixth-grade students. It took place at a primary school. Data were collected based on the Object-Spatial Imagery Questionnaire (OSIQ)and the mental rotation task(MRT). A series of American style comics as well as Japanese style comics were used as the medium for the sketching test. The mental imagery was categorized through the participant’s performance at sketching while cartoon sketches displayed to the participants were shown with different 3D-visualization level. Nevertheless, a series of spinning mental imaginary tests was added in order to classify the level of difficulties of spatial imaginary and object imaginary. Data collection was made based on the marks given to the participant’s sketches to analyze the research topic. While past research focused mainly on the relationship between sketching and physical as well as mental development, the researcher focused this research on the imaginary development based on the mental factor. The main objective of this research is to identify the common sketching performance and imaginary ability among primary children, but neither among trained art students nor professional artists. The researcher also hopes to help identify the imaginary ability of primary students and will further new discovery related to the children imaginary ability.
