This book places child art within the broader context of children's
creative intelligence and intrinsic motivation to invent a
pictorial world. It examines the development of drawing and
painting from several currently dominant theoretical perspectives.
This is followed by an extensive examination of empirical data on
the art work of children who are ordinary, talented, emotionally
disturbed, and atypically developed due to mental disability or
autism. The Child's Creation of a Pictorial World uses a
developmental framework that combines theoretical sophistication
with rigorous empirical investigations into the mental processes
that underlie the child's drawings. It delineates the evolution of
forms, the pictorial differentiation of figures and their spatial
relations, the role of color in narrative descriptions, and its
expressive function. Artistic development across all these
dimensions is seen as a meaningful mental activity that serves
cognitive, affective, and aesthetic functions.
