This article presents the findings of research aimed at exploring the particularities of preschoolers’ drawing using both traditional (paper, pencils, markers etc.) and electronic (tablets) means. Children of preschool age participated in this project. Both participant observation and expert assessment were used for evaluating the drawing process and the products of the preschoolers’ artistic activity through electronic and traditional means. Melik-Pashaev’s “Skyline” method was used for participant observation. For expert assessment a 5-point scale was used to evaluate the children’s works from the perspective of their aesthetic appeal. The children’s behavior during drawing both on paper and on tablets were evaluated along with their pictures. A quality and quantity analysis of 26 electronically and traditionally drawn pictures by preschoolers was conducted. The data allows us to draw the following conclusion: that while children were equally interested in drawing on paper and on the tablets, the duration of drawing, emotional involvement, and engagement in the drawing process was higher when children drew on paper. Children get more pleasure and satisfaction from drawing on paper than from drawing on tablets. Children’s actions during drawing with tablets look more like experimentation than visual art. The experts’ quantitative assessment of factors like the existence of a subject, level of detail, and compositional perfection show better outcomes for pictures on paper than on tablets.
