Art &Child Development
Definition
Child art is the drawings, paintings and other artistic works created by children.
It is also referred to as "children's art" or the "art of children".
Stages of development
Each of these stages refers to a combination of visual characteristics found in the art work of children
Developmental-Stage theory
the stages occur in a sequential order.
Many individuals never continue beyond the schematic or transitional mode of representation in the graphic arts.
1. The Scribble Stage:
• By definition, a child in the scribbling stage, usually 2 - 4 years of age, is not drawing symbols for objects.
• The act of scribbling is purely kinesthetic and imaginative.
Stages…….
There are three discernible stages during this stage:

Pre-symbolism:
Smiling person (combined head and body) age 4½
From about age three, the child begins to combine circles and lines to make simple figures.
Symbolism:

five. The basic shapes are called symbols or
schema.

This is the stage in which the maturing child usually 9 years or older, attempts to produce art work that meets
adult standards;
The Realism Stage …..
