The document discusses the early pictorial stage of children's drawing development. It proposes that drawing ability can indicate a child's cognitive development stage, and that gifted children may show more advanced stages compared to same-age peers. In the early pictorial stage, children can draw basic shapes like ovals and arcs, and their pictures may include unrelated objects as they experiment with new ideas.
2. PICTORIAL STAGE
How does drawing and
thinking relate?
As child assimilates and accommodates
schemes these are revealed through drawings
Egocentrism-how it looks to me
Decentration- shown from another point of view
3. PICTORIAL STAGE
The Problem
Is it possible to determine the stage of a
childs development by having them draw a
picture of a tree behind a house?
Will children who are the same age be in the
same stage of development?
4. PICTORIAL STAGE
Hypothesis
Yes, it is possible to determine the stage of
development.
Gifted students will show more advanced
stage of development than same age children
in a regular class.
5. EARLY PICTORIAL STAGE
Early basic forms stage is when children can
draw oval or circle, curved line or arc made
with the same swinging movement of an arm
used in the early scribble stage
6. EARLY PICTORIAL STAGE
The child practices these symbols, covering
sheets of paper with many examples of the
same subjects.
Also at an early point in this stage, a childs
picture may be a collection of unrelated
figures and objects.
During this early pictorial stage, the child is
searching for new ideas.
