"If you know and love young children, find a way to read this book.
Here you will discover the hidden talents of young children for
complexity, design, and tenacity for learning... a wonderful
addition to the too-small library of quality books on young
children's learning through art."
. . Shirley Brice Heath, Professor Emerita, Stanford University and
Professor at Large, Brown University, USA
. . "This book is unique in giving an in-depth account of the
way young children approach drawing at home and at school. It shows
the cognitive value of drawing in childrens intellectual and
emotional development and sets out the truly extraordinary range of
drawing types that are used and understood by three to six year
olds. It is an invaluable experience."
. Professor Ken Baynes, Department of Design and Technology,
Loughborough University, UK
. . This book explores how young children learn to draw and draw
to learn, at home and school. It provides support for practitioners
in developing a pedagogy of drawing in Art and Design and across
the curriculum and provide advice for parents about how to make
sense of their childrens drawings.
. . "Making Sense of Childrens Drawings "is enlivened with the
real drawings of seven young children, collected over three years.
These drawings stimulated dialogues with the children, parents and
practitioners whose voices are reported in the book. The book makes
a powerful argument for us to radically re-think the role of
drawing in young childrens construction of meaning, communication
and sense of identity. It provides insights into the influence of
media and consumerism, as reflected in popular visual imagery, and
on gender identity formationin young children. It also offers
strong messages about the overemphasis on the three Rs in early
childhood education.
. . Key reading for students, practitioners and parents who want
to encourage young childrens drawing development without
interfering with their creativity, and who need a novel approach to
tuning into young childrens passions and pre-occupations..
