When children start drawing, they cannot yet explain their worldview in words. Does children's drawing provide insight into their thoughts and feelings? Yes, says the author of this book - one just needs to consider general developmental characteristics and the influence of the cultural and family environment. Martin Schuster describes how children's drawings evolve with increasing knowledge of the world. Drawing challenges, such as the representation of depth, are creatively addressed. Visual examples illustrate the hidden messages that can be found in a child's drawing. Numerous suggestions invite parents to nurture their children's artistic talent with simple tasks and games.
