Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is not uncommon for children’s drawings to end up in the wastepaper basket. Yet these early artistic expressions indicate how children communicate with their environment. From the first scratches and scribbles to the detailed sketches of houses and people, the drawings and paintings of our young ones are significant manifestations of inner processes, containing important statements about their development and gradual incarnation into a physical body. Michaela Strauss’s classic work is a pioneer study that can strengthen observation, understanding and love for the being of the child, both in the home and the kindergarten. First issued in 1978, it is republished here with revisions, improved reproductions, a larger format and more than 40 pages of colour illustrations. ‘In its drawings, the child describes for us different conditions of consciousness, which are parallel with those of cultural epochs.’ – Michaela Strauss

Download or read book Understanding Children s Drawings written by Michaela Strauss and published by Rudolf Steiner Press. This book was released on 1978-01-01 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on the notes of Hanns Strauss and his collection of 6,000 drawings by 2- to 7-year-olds, this book describes the stages of development of children's drawings by using the framework of Rudolf Steiner's "anthroposophical" science. In the introduction, the early development of children's drawing is compared with works of art left by early civilizations. Three phases of children's drawing are described: (1) Up to 3 years, the process of creation arises in a dreamy way, and the child lives in the movements involved; (2) from 3 to 5 years, the child lets the arising picture take hold of his imagination; and (3) from 5 to 7 years, the child creates a clear interpretation of a theme chosen before beginning to draw. Chapter 1 describes the development of the use of line, while chapter 2 describes the development of the use of color. Chapter 3 describes the increasing role of the imagination and the transition from the use of symbolic representations to narrative/illustrative representations. The last part of chapter 3, "Notes on the Study of Man" (by Wolfgang Schad), explains Rudolf Steiner's ideas about concurrent spiritual and physiological development. Numerous color and black-and-white drawings illustrate the developmental concepts. (CB)

Not only is it a relaxing and enjoyable experience for a child, but it improves their skills. Many children assume that you can either draw or you can't, but of course this isn't true. All great artists start somewhere - by observing instructions and practicing. The idea of this book is to provide an easily accessible starting point. Often, seeing an elaborate drawing is intimidating for kids. It is important to break down the process into smaller steps, so that they can learn that the finished product is made up of different elements. Through doing this, they understand that creating impressive art is a journey in itself. Like all skills, it doesn't happen immediately. However, with the right amount of practice and encouragement, your child will improve. It takes weeks, months or even years but the path will be exciting and rewarding for both you and your child. Who knows where it may lead? Maybe there is a budding painter, photographer or sculptor waiting to shine. The only way to find out is to allow them to express themselves and enjoy the process. Use this book to encourage them, amuse them and most importantly let them explore the possibilities that learning to draw has to offer!
