Children's Drawing

The well-known practitioner and theorist of children's artistic education and museum work with children, Marilyn J. S. Goodman discusses the role of drawing in a child's development and life, explains why visual self-expression is necessary for them, how it changes with age, and what distinguishes it from professional art. The book briefly summarizes modern views on children's creativity, presents opinions about it from psychologists and educators, and helps parents understand what their children are drawing and how to help them express themselves. The text is complemented by numerous illustrations.
