I STILL date most of my art (I think I’ll be more consistent about that practice now I’m reminded how useful it is), and it helps me to see when I thought or drew different things.

The Child enjoys the process and the product.Īt the risk of seriously embarrassing myself here, I recently found a cache of my drawings from this stage. With that in mind, let’s begin with an embarrassing moment for me: want to see what I drew like when I was eight? SchematicĪges 7-9 (But as early as age 6, as late as age 10) So, having gotten our hypothetical kid through the first or second grade, what developments do we see next? Keep in mind, each child is slightly different, these age ranges are suggestions, not law, and the transition from one stage to the next is gradual, so you will see aspects of the next stage flow in, and ebb out, while elements of previous stages pop up. Yesterday’s post focused on the Scribble and Pre-Schematic years, which cover a child’s drawing development from 18 months to roughly 7 years old.
