Recognizing and Evaluating Stages of Art

In your Readings this week you read about the three basic levels in drawing that apply to early childhood development: the scribble stage, the basic forms stage, and the pictorial stage. When early childhood professionals can recognize and evaluate each stage through direct observation of a child's art work, then they are best able to plan appropriate art activities and materials for toddlers, preschoolers, and school aged children K-2nd grade.

View the following videos from the Colorado Department of Education found in your Web resources: Jacob at the Easel, Kyrill at the Easel, Kyrill and Kira at the Easel, and Sam Draws a Scarecrow.
