TY - JOUR T1 - YOung children and their drawings Y1 - 1999/01/01 N1 - JO - Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine SP - 95 EP - 95 VL - 153 IS - 1 N2 - The author demonstrates the creativity found in children before reality and structures are learned, such as the primacy of the head when children first draw a human figure and the omission or overemphasis of certain body parts. In the chapter, "Past and Present," the author provides examples of drawings from the past revealing similar drawing tendencies, concluding that children's drawings have not changed in their developmental process over the years. Drawings 30 years ago are almost identical to drawings of today's young children. The author uses various works of art from different eras to compare and illustrate his findings.
