Protests began on December 18, 2010, in Tunisia and spread to many Arab countries. While governments are falling as a result of public actions, a civil war that will last for many years has started in many countries. One of these countries is Syria that is Turkey’s border neighbor. Protests started in Syria in 2011 first replaced by civil war and then things came to a point that other countries started to involve themselves in Syria's civil problems. The long-lasted Syrian war has created some negative results in social, psychological and economical fields. As it is the case in many wars, civilians have been the targets, many people died and, as a consequence, millions of Syrians left their lands and started to migrate to other countries. Although these people changed the place they used to live, they were not able to erase the memories created by war. Some Syrians choose to reflect these memories on papers by drawing pictures. This study aims to understand Syrian children’s perception of war, from which they managed to escape in 2011, by analyzing pictures drawn by them. Keeping the aim in mind, these drawings are analyzed by using semiotic analysis method. As a consequence of the study, it is seen that Syrian children depict war significantly by using images of women and children.
