cognitive development
psychoanalytic theory
perceptual theory
perceptual delineation theory
father of psychoanalysis
Sigmund Freud
proponent of perceptual delineation theory
June McFee
proponent of cognitive development
Jean Piaget

James Gibson
suggest that children draw what they see
3d to 2d
sensory stimuli ——–sensory receptors
perceptual theory
proposes that children’s art emerges from emotion and reflects what they feel
Art is a reflection of deep inner emotions
psychoanalytic theory
suggest that children’s intelligence undergoes changes as they grow
Jean Piaget
Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development
Sensorimotor Stage
Preoperational Stage
Concrete Operational Stage
Formal Operational Stage
understands world through language and mental images
Preoperational
understands world through logical thinking and categories
concrete operational
understands world through senses and actions
sensorimotor
understands world through hypothetical thinking and scientific reasoning
Formal operational
states that poetry, music, and paintings are all products of imagination and involve verbal, and auditory components in order to understand them.
cognitive development
learning is a behavioral adjustment
perceptual delineation theory
suggest that children draw as they do, not because of any factor but because of several
one factor is the child’s readiness, physical development, intelligence, perceptual development, and cultural dispositions
The second factor is the psychological environment in which the child
works, including the degree of threat or support, as well as the number
and intensity of rewards and punishments present.
The third factor relates how children handle information. Their ability
to handle details and to organize and categorize information coming
from the environment.
The final factor deals with how children’s drawing are influenced by
their ability to manipulate the art materials as well as their creativity
and inventive ability.
Perceptual Delineation Theory
learning is a behavioral adjustment,
and the education that society needed was guided change in
behavior.
June McFee
Children at this age are engaged in the physical activity of drawing. There is no
connection made between the marks and representation during most of the
scribble stage. However, towards the end of this stage children may begin to give
marks names. This stage is mostly about the enjoyment of purely making marks.
Scribble
Children at this stage have clearly assigned shapes to objects that they are attempting to communicate.
They often have developed a schema for creating drawings. There is a defined order in the
development of the drawing.
Drawings at this stage have a clear separation between the sky and the ground. Often the sky is a strip
of blue at the top of the paper, while the ground is a strip of green at the bottom.
Schematic
At this stage in artistic development, children are beginning to become more
critical of their own work. It has become evident that a structured order to
drawing objects is no longer sufficient. While a schema is still used to create
drawings, it is more complex than the schema used in earlier stages. Overlapping
can be seen and a sense of spatial relationships is more evident.
DAWNING REALISM
Children at this stage of artistic development are beginning to see connections
between the shapes that they draw and the physical world around them. Circles
and lines may be described as people or objects that are physically present in the
child’s life. It is in this stage that a child first makes the connection to
communicating through their drawings.
Pre-Schematic
The use of value and light is now apparent in drawings. Children at this stage of
artistic development are very critical of their own success. Success is determined
by the level of realism achieved in the drawing.
PSEUDOREALISTIC
Children at this stage will decide to continue drawing or view it as an activity
without merit. Because of the level of self criticism inherent at this stage, many
children, (now young adults) view drawing as a skill that they do not possess.
Others, however, decide to continue working on their drawing skills and
continue to develop. This stage of artistic development is perhaps the most
critical to the development of an artist.
The Decision Stage
a young child may draw simple shapes and lines, while an older child may create more complex and detailed drawings.
Cognitive Development
a child may draw a picture of a flower based on their perception of its colors, shapes, and textures.
Perceptual Theory
a child may draw a picture that represents their fears or dreams, providing insight into their emotional state.
Psychoanalytic Theory
a child may draw a house with different-sized windows and doors to show depth and perspective.
