The act of drawing is one of the singular expressions of children as protagonists, reverberating the experience of life through which children materialize and share their inquiries before the world, a creative activity that brings the complexity of the relationships experienced in their coexistence with other children and with adults, lifestyles and cultural practices that leave marks of their presence. These marks of experience are traces that carry representations of thoughts and interpretations of what it is like to be a girl or a boy, black or white and children of a working class. Based on the analysis of drawings by black and white boys and girls between 8 and 9 years of age we try to understand how children at elementary school conceive the image of childhoods lived in the outskirts of São Paulo City - Brazil. By taking these children’s drawings as a primary source of the research, we conceptualized them as cultural artifacts and historical documents, which can contribute to the recognition of the children’s culture expressed in the traces, symbols and colors of their creation, thus allowing us to think likewise about this moment of the society, with its historical specificities, and their gender, race and social class signs. This is a interpretive analysis, based on anthropology, sociology and childhood pedagogy.
