The Scribbling Stage - Age 2
Beginning of Self-Expression
-disordered scribbling
-grasps tool with whole hand
-Ignores previous marks on page
-no attempts at human figure representation
Random Scribbling Stage - Child makes meaningless marks with any available instrument on the surface - little muscular control over scribbles
Give the child time to continue experimentation. Do not distract child with discussion
The Scribbling Stage
Beginning of Self-Expression
Named Scribbling
-scribbles places purposefully
-previous marks on page utilized
-relates marks to thinks known
-variety of line
-scribble pointed out by hold as being a person
Conscious Outline of Shapes - After much repetition of shapes the child can draw crude shapes at will - evidence of greater muscular control
Provide repetitious activities that encourage the development of motor skills. Point out the kinds of shapes found in the scribbling and have the child try to relate them to objects in their environment.
The Preschematic Stage
First Representational Attempts
-geometric shapes
-object floats on page
-looking at viewer
-smiling
-omission of parts
-hair/bow added
Pattern Stage - Lines and shapes are combined to form mandalas, suns, and radial objects - beginning of developing personal symbols.
Do not attempt to force the child into the symbol stage by questioning the meaning of the work - encourage spontaneous, free expression.
The Schematic Stage
Achievement of the Form Concept
-flat representation
-drawing reflects child's active knowledge of environment
-X-ray drawings
-Body made up of geometric shapes
-proportions depend on emotional values
-exaggerated change of schema
Using Space Round Objects - When child achieves satisfaction with symbols, he attempts to create a more finished product by the addition of items such as borders and backgrounds to surround symbols.
Have the child experience simple printmaking activities involving repeat patterns and borders. Explore surroundings to suggest backgrounds.
