This book traces the development of artistic talent from early childhood to adolescence through a series of studies that look comparatively at development in talented and less-talented populations. It presents a model of artistic talent that attributes individual differences to the figurative abilities of talented children. The model proposes that artistic talent results from the continual coordination of heightened figurative abilities with conceptual processes throughout a period critical in semiotic development. The studies focus on the development of form, spatial relationships and composition. Milbrath's theory is richly supported by original examples of children's artwork.

Book Description:
This book presents several original studies of artistically talented children and their less-talented peers. The focus is on the spontaneous drawings children produce and on the types of compositions children generate when given materials to compose. Milbrath's model of artistic talent attributes individual differences to the figurative abilities of talented children, and her theory is richly supported by original examples of children's artwork.
Review:
"....Constance Milbrath has given the field a gift of singular quality and great significance. Patterns of Artistic Development in Children will be read and appreciated for years to come, inspiring and guiding inquiry into the heterolore elusive topic of the nature of talent." David Henry Feldman, Human Development

"Milbrath's theory is richly supported by original examples of children's artwork. Recommended for all college and university libraries." Choice

"Patterns of Artistic Development in Children is a highly ambitious and scholarly undertaking that integrates findings from the domains of cognitive psychology and the psychology of drawing. Dr. Milbrath is to be complimented on her integration of cross-sectional and longitudinal data, on her qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of data, and on her careful analysis of case materials. This book will serve as an excellent source for generating productive research hypotheses, and will encourage further exploration of normative development and the role of talent in the domain of the graphic arts." American Journal of Art Therapy

"This is the most scholarly, comprehensive review of children's artwork to date." Contemporary Psychology
