Answer 1

You can discover a lot about a child's feelings based on the work that they create. These sites will tell you a little more. I just did a search on art therapy.
A few examples; bright colors indicate hope and hapiness. Using all blacks and browns indicate a lack of hope. Very violent drawings may indicate that a child is surrounded by violent behaviors. Drawing himself separate from the parents indicates a feeling of emotional distance and may be a sign for concern. Check out the links below. I think that they will help you.
