Parameters of Children's Sensitivity to Painting Styles.

DePorter, Deborah A.; Kavanaugh, Robert D.

Studies in Art Education, v20 n1 p43-48 1978

Forty students, grades 4 and 8, were given match-to-sample tests on Western art, to gauge their ability to recognize paintings by the same artist. Eighth-graders performed reliably better than fourth-graders, and their matching justifications were more advanced. Prior artistic experiences improved style sensitivity. (SJL)
