Abstract:
Designing products for children, compliant with the modern requirements of
education process must comply with the modern anthropometric standardization,
psychophysiological development of children and improved design techniques. The
particularities of children’s silhouettes are determined, first of all, by differences in the
proportions of main elements. It is known that namely the proportions of silhouette represent
the biggest age-related variability and affect the perception of silhouette in general. The
study considered the proportions of common type silhouettes of girls determined by a series
of anthropomorphological indicators of projections. As an object of research was chosen a
preschool age group, as the children aged 3 … 6,5 years have specific particularities of
silhouette that must be taken into account when elaborating new models of products.
