Child Art in Context: A Cultural and Comparative Perspective

by Claire Golomb

Child Art in Context: A Cultural and Comparative Perspective Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Child Art in Context examines the process of creative expression in child art from an innovative sociocultural and historical perspective. More than 100 drawings and sculptures illustrate the genesis and development of representational skill and its progression in the visual arts as well as theories on how this course can best be understood.

Book News Annotation:

Starting with the premise that child art ought to be studied within an ecologically meaningful context, Golumb (psychology, U. of Massachusetts-Boston) reports studies that address fundamental questions regarding the meaning and intellectual status of the childish forms; the role of internal models or mental images, the significance of the medium; motivation; and the language of child art.
