Description

The development of the child's ability to draw is an inherently fascinating and complex subject. Many theories have been proposed to explain this development, but until now o on has undertaken a cross-cultural, controlled study of children in the act of drawing. "Playing with Form" is the first empirical study of children drawing in diverse cultures. Alexander Alland, Jr. spent eight months observing and filming children six cultures - Japan, Bali, Taiwan, Ponape, France, and the U.S. - as they drew. Attempting to determine the accuracy of current generalizations about the development of drawing skills as well as to understand the step-by step process of drawing, Alland amassed 240 drawings (100 of which are reproduced here) by children ranging from two to eight years old. The author uses this wealth of primary material to dispute much current thinking about children's drawing, particular theories about specific universal stages of development. While he does suggest some general rules which underlie the process of drawing, Alland argues that cultural differences reflect rules which are specific to the culture in which children' "play with form". An invaluable first step toward understanding the exact role culture plays in the development of style in children's drawing, "Playing with Form" will be of fundamental interest to anthropologists, developmental psychologists, art historians, and elementary school teachers. -- back cover
