How Children Learn to Draw (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from How Children Learn to Draw The methods of teaching drawing in the Ele mentary School of the School of Education in The University of Chicago during the past few years have been in the nature of an experiment to dis cover how children learn most readily to use drawing as a common means of self-expression. Two uses of drawing have been emphasized: first, its use as a means of intellectual expression which differs essentially from verbal language and there fore offers a unique method of analyzing and dealing with subjects and showing them in a new light; second, its use as a form of aesthetic expression, a means of developing artistic appreciation, and an avenue to the sources of aesthetic enjoyment.
