| Summary: | "In this illustrated book, Maureen Cox gives a comprehensive and scholarly account of children's understanding and appreciation of art and their developing ability to produce their own pictures. She discusses the main influences on children's picture-making, including the popular media, adults' examples and other children's pictures, as well as children's own inventiveness and level of cognitive development. She considers the intriguing question, does children's art follow the same pattern of development as the history of art? Although much of the book traces the artistic development of typically developing children, it also includes a discussion of children with intellectual disabilities as well as those with a talent for art, some of whom are children with autism."--BOOK JACKET. |
