In his last and most overarching essay on the subject, Rudolf
Arnheim encourages us to see the range of individuality in
children's drawings and to recognize the child's creation of
'significant form' as a way of bringing coherence to his or her
experience of the world. This groundbreaking book brings together
distinguished critics and scholars, including Rudolf Arnheim, to
explore children's art and its profound but rarely documented
history. The contributors address central questions of how children
use art to make sense of their experience and what really
constitutes visual 'giftedness' in children. They also cover such
topics as visual thinking, the influence of popular culture on
children's drawings, giftedness versus education in children's
drawings, process, and social interaction in drawing. Created to
accompany an exhibition on children's drawings, "When We Were
Young" features a stunning full-color gallery of drawings both by
famous artists such as Ingres, Van Gogh, Picasso, Miro, and Klee
when they were children and by extraordinary 'ordinary' children.
An annotated chronology, with synopses and more than a thousand
scholarly notes, offers a comprehensive survey of the literature
and history of child art from the thirteenth century to the
present. It includes essays by Rudolf Arnheim, Jonathan Fineberg,
Misty S. Houston, Olga Ivashkevich, Christine Marme Thompson, and
Elizabeth Hutton Turner.
