Additionally, the article targets at shedding light to&amp;nbsp;the relationship that exists between the people inside the school environment as well as the climate, the culture and the activities that take place inside the school environment.&amp;nbsp;More particularly, the colours used, the size,&amp;nbsp;the placement of the objects and people should also be taken into serious consideration since&amp;nbsp;they reveal information whether the child feels or wants to feel close to a particular person or has a desire to be protected by a specific person. What is more,&amp;nbsp;through the interpretation of the pictures children reflect what they know about the world and the school environment in which they belong as well as how to plan, organise and make choices.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
