Children's Drawings: Genesis And Nature Of Graphic Representa

Description: Few developmental activities are more revealing of human nature than the course of growth for very young children in the visual arts. Plotting this course of development is a major undertaking. It is an undertaking that is reflected in Antonio Machon's life-long engagement in plotting that course. His book, The Drawings of Young Children, is likely to become a classic resource for anyone seeking to understand the ways in which young children graphically symbolize their experience. Machón has given the field a tool for unlocking the course of action young children take in externalizing what, for them, is internal. We are fortunate to have his work available. The field al art education will be all the stronger for it.
