摘要:Previous research suggests that parent-child art making can foster opportunities for
closeness between children and parents. Most studies however, have focused on artmaking
that involves paint and paper, or non-digital drawing technologies. There is
a need for researchers to consider how a wider range of technologies, including
digital technologies, might shape the interactions between children and parents
during art-making. This is particularly important given current concerns that digital
technologies are impacting negatively on children’s social interactions and their
intimacy with others. This study takes a social semiotic perspective to explore how
child-parent closeness was supported by different technologies. A three year old
child and her father were observed across eight episodes of art-making in the home
using a range of four technologies (two digital and two non-digital). A multimodal interaction analysis of the video data suggested that the different technologies were
characterised by different types of interaction and distinct forms of closeness
between the child and parent. These differences did not correspond neatly to a
digital/non-digital divide, but instead related to a network of material factors,
embodied actions and the participants’ sociocultural investment in each technology.
