Laird, Shirley – Arts & Activities, 2009
The author has always liked the look of stained-glass windows. Usually the designs are simplified and the shapes are easier for younger students to draw. This technique seemed to be the perfect place for her fifth-graders to try their hand at color mixing. The smaller spaces and simple shapes were just what she needed for this group. Her students…

Yarrow, Aleta Wynn – Exchange: The Early Childhood Leaders' Magazine Since 1978, 2010
Adults have long been fascinated by children's drawings and paintings. Significant research has been done on the development of representational imagery.

Pavlou, Victoria – International Journal of Art & Design Education, 2009
This article explores aspects of young children's three-dimensional development in art making.

The present article is based on a…

Allen, Melissa L. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2009
Young typically developing children can reason about abstract depictions if they know the intention of the artist. Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), who are notably impaired in social, "intention monitoring" domains, may have great difficulty in decoding vague representations. In Experiment 1, children with ASD are unable to use…

Szekely, George – Arts & Activities, 2009
In school, the author sat next to Sandor the sculptor--when he was still undiscovered. He could take a pencil and, while seemingly listening in class, completely reshape the pencil by biting it. To detail his best pieces, Sandor would highlight the dents and gnashes with colored pens. Little did Sandor realize that his early efforts would be an…
