This study examines the relation between the communicative context and the formal characteristics of the drawings in two groups of junior high-school students (12 to 15 years old). The research was done with a group of indigenous youth from Mexico and a group of urban Mexican youth. Both groups were asked to draw from the same short story. This article focuses on how the adolescents not only represent what they read, but also reflect how their cultural and communicative context shape the way they interpret, construct and represent the world. The children showed that their cultural knowledge and media context were intertwined in their visual productions.
