This essay focuses on some of the social conditions of the production of graphic activity. The data was collected through video recordings and of drawings made by pre-school children involved in classroom graphic activities during the school year. Based on a historic-cultural approach, this analysis strives to verify the relation between speech and drawing productions as well as the childrens' interaction with eachother and with the teacher. According to the results, the impact of interactive events, especially the process of language within the graphic activities, indicates a necessity of revision of the maturacionist emphasis of the theoretical discussions about the theme.
