Study Notes
Drawing Development Stages
- Scribbling Stage (Ages 2-3): Characterized by non-representative movements.
- Preschematic Stage (Ages 3-4): Introduction to human figure drawings known as tadpole drawings, using circles for heads and lines for limbs.
- Schematic Stage (Ages 5-6): Development of schemas separating the head and trunk, with initial misplacement or omission of arms; limbs later gain substance and details like clothing and facial features emerge.
- Realistic Stage (Around Age 9): Transition from spontaneous art to detailed representations; enhanced use of space and varied emotional expressions are observed.
- Period of Indecision: Children vacillate between engagement in drawing and opting to abstain from creating art.
Clinical Value of Children's Drawings
- Projective Measures: Instruments to assess psychological states through drawings, with the Draw-a-Person Test being a notable method developed by Florence Goodenough in the 1920s, widely recognized among US psychologists.
- Can help identify group differences but lacks precision in diagnosing individual cases needing special attention.
Psychological Wellbeing
- Tools like the Draw-a-Family Test and House-Tree-Person Test interpreted through psychoanalytic perspectives assess children's mental health.
- Drawing may reveal insights into experiences of sexual abuse, though no consistent graphic indicators have been established to differentiate between abused and non-abused children's drawings.
Verbal Communication Aid
- Drawings help children articulate their past experiences.
- Research by Butler, Gross, & Hayne demonstrated that children who drew and then told their stories reported significantly more information in direct recall scenarios compared to those who only told their stories.
- Both groups had comparable accuracy in their accounts, establishing the effectiveness of drawings in eliciting detailed memories.
Recent Findings
- The positive impact of drawings enhances recall for emotionally charged events across various ages, from three to twelve years old.
- Drawings have proven beneficial even in clinical settings, aiding children in recalling information about past experiences, with evidence extending to recalls after significant delays.
