Download or read book Children s Drawings of the Human Figure written by Maureen V. Cox and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-24 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The human figure is one of the earliest topics drawn by the young child and remains popular throughout childhood and into adolescence. When it first emerges, however, the human figure in the child's drawing is very bizarre: it appears to have no torso and its arms, if indeed it has any, are attached to its head. Even when the figure begins to look more conventional the child must still contend with a variety of problems: for instance, how to draw the head and body in the right proportions and how to draw the figure in action. In this book, Maureen Cox traces the development of the human form in children's drawings; she reviews the literature in the field, criticises a number of major theories which purport to explain the developing child's drawing skills and also presents new data.

Download or read book Portraying Children written by Daniela Brambilla and published by Hoaki. This book was released on 2022-03-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Portraying people is undoubtedly one of the most difficult aspects of drawing. Expressions, movements, emotions and gazes add a series of challenges not present in still life and landscape techniques.

This book, now in paperback, fills this void, offering a method to acquire an excellent command of painting and illustration techniques. Using live models, photographs, videos, drawings of faces and entire bodies, either posing or simply naturally, it contains a step-by-step, detailed explanation of how to draw children. Through an introduction to proportions and by teaching readers how to sketch more freely, it captures both physical and psychological artistic transformation in an exercise in introspection and memory of one's own childhood. Portraying Children is intended for illustrators and those who love to draw, parents and relatives, and anyone else who wants to capture the memorable, enchanting and fleeting moments associated with childhood.
