Synopsis

A fundamental book for psychologists and students of psychology and child education, as well as anyone interested in the creativity and intellectual and emotional development of young children. Also an essential document for today's parents,whose children call for increasing attention to be paid to their creative and affective development. "Professor Antonio Machón's book on Children's Drawings is a stimulating example of rigour and tenacity in the investigation of such a significant aspect of children's development. As the author explains in the introduction, he has compiled, classified and analysed thousands of drawings produced by boys and girls over the course of many years. In order to carry out such an ambitious project, he had to read and systematically compare the various existing theories on the development of children's drawing. And these explorations led him to shape his own vision of this fascinating process, placing the achievements of children's graphic development in the context of other developmental milestones of childhood. There is often talk of the privileged position of those who live on the boundary of two cultures, two languages, two countries, two disciplines, etc. - privileged because it provides them with a perspective that is beyond the reach of specialists and the monolingual and orthodox. The author also approaches the subject from a privileged position. In addition to a university professor specialised in children's drawing, he is a keen connoisseur of contemporary art and, in particular, painting. Possessing as he does this long, rich and outstanding experience, he has always viewed children's drawing with a dimension that goes beyond those traditionally expounded in works on this subject. [...]This work is set to become a classic on children's drawing." - J. Linaza, Autonoma University of Madrid
