The article describes the peculiarities of embodiment of the propulsion-plastic images in individual creative work (copyright of diagnostic methods “Video letter”): using expressive movements of the child transfers the contents of verbal concepts (emotions, personality traits). According to the hypothesis, in children from middle to senior preschool age, the proportion of arbitrary expressive movements as a means of implementing a given image increases and the proportion of their own involuntary expressive movements as spontaneous reactions to the situation of a creative task decreases. Two samples of preschool children are compared: experimental groups where 4-year purposeful development of figurative and plastic creativity (under the program “Expressive movement”) was carried out, and control groups which were not trained under this program. There is shown that in the experimental groups the confirmation of the hypothesis is more obvious than in the control groups, – it proves the active influence of learning the language of movements on the development of conscious use of expressive movements for the embodiment of the image.
