66
Developmental Stages of Children’s Art
67
Developmental Stages Disordered Scribbling / Manipulative
Controlled Scribbling Named Scribble/ Symbolic/ Shape Stage Recognizable / Pictorial Stage
68
Scribble or Manipulative Stage (2 - 4 years)
The child enjoys the muscular sensation of scribbling or watching marks appear The child is not trying to draw, model or build objects, the experience is purely kinesthetic (movement)
69
Controlled Scribbling
Lines stop and start at different points Begins to make circular movements on the page. Experiments with dots and lines
70
Manipulative Stage (2 - 4 years)
Children all start by experimenting with materials Scribble drawings Squeeze and pound clay Use one colour of paint and makes a patch Simple 2 piece construction Experiment with collage
71
Symbolic Stage (4 - 7 years) The child Begins to make lines & shapes
Begins to name some of these shapes Interest in pattern making begins Circle evolves to represent a head First recognisable figures appear Beginning of naming Usually not recognisable to adult
72
Symbolic Stage (4 - 7 years)
• One shape may represent more than one thing Begins to attempt more elaborate shapes Emergence of form and pattern Concern with shape and balance Does not know beforehand what she is going to draw Name may change several times during drawing Emergence of mandala and sun
73
Representational Stage (7-10 years)
Beginning of recognizable figures (figures, houses, animals, vehicles, plants) More complicated patterns Figures become more detailed Outward facing presentation People floating in space - no horizontal ground line Decorative element, development of symmetry Announces beforehand what it will be
74
Later Representational Stage
