Abstract

This study deals with the impact of artistic transformation in children's literature on the activation of the child's dramatic sense in his relationship with the text via cartoon art as a sensory translation of body language. The study will present three Palestinian literary model writers from three generations: Tawfiq Fayyad, in his story Haifa was al-Nawras; Yahya Yakhluf, in his story Saq al-Qasab, and Najwa Zoreq, in her story Imlaq Amir Al-Saghir. The three models adopt an artistic method that is specific to the publishing house that published their stories. The research methodology tries to answer the following questions by creating a confrontation between two cartoon models versus a model with the technology of realistic expressionism:


1.Is the artistic transformation of children's stories a preplanned plan by the Arab publishing houses that is accomplished by a professional artist?


2.How does the stylistic technique of caricature art raise the children's mental interaction?


The study aims to achieve two goals: first,  to determine the artistic stylistic technique of the child's language and the cartoon art as a transformation reference, and second: to motivate the publishing houses to give more weight in their publications to the child's pleasure over their profitable interests
