Synopsis

The largest collection of children's drawings made in response to a single method of instruction. The Lowenfeldian approach of stimulating pre-visualization prior to drawing through the use of guiding questions was used to help children in four countries identify personal memories and experiences relating to 10 themes. Contextual information sheds light on how the drawing study was conducted in four different cultural contexts. Five experts responded to this collection of approximately 650 drawings. While each author views the work through a distinct lens, collectively they explore issues of drawing development, cultural context, stories children tell, the influence of popular and visual culture, and drawing methodology. This book promises to delight and inform those interested in children's drawings, especially elementary classroom educators, elementary art educators, students preparing to teach, researchers, and educators interested in initiating international exchanges of student artwork.
