During the collection of data for a study of 386 3- to 11-yr.-old children's artistic development using clay, it was decided to have the children draw two figures of a man, to test the reliability of the first products and to compare the children's development in two- and three-dimensional media. The first drawings made were reliable examples of what children would do when asked to draw the figure of a man, at least within a 2-wk. period.

Persediaan kanak-kanak pra-sekolah dalam lingkungan 2 hingga 6 tahun untuk menjalani pengalaman dunia sebenar amat kritikal. Sebelum memulakan persekolahan arus perdana, kanak-kanak ini sebenarnya memperlihatkan kesediaan serta perkembangan fizikal dan intelek mereka dalam pelbagai ekspresi yang boleh diukur, seperti lukisan. Objektif kajian ini adalah untuk mengenalpasti karektor lukisan kanak-kanak mengikut 4 fasa penting dalam Teori Perkembangan Artistik Lowenfeld iaitu Scribbling, Pre-Schematic, Schematic dan Realistic. 50 kanak-kanak di Bachok, Kelantan telah mengambil bahagian dalam ujian melukis berstruktur, dan lukisan mereka seterusnya dibandingkan dengan pencapaian perkembangan perseptual dan analitikal, khususnya dari segi kebolehan kanak-kanak dalam pemerhatian, menganalisa, memahami dan menzahirkan. Hasil kajian ini dijangka dapat menghubungkan perkaitan antara aktiviti artistik dengan pencapaian-pencapaian penting dalam perkembangan kamak-kanak.   Children under the age of 2 to 6 years old have a critical time preparing themselves to comprehend the world around them. Before they start their formal education in the primary school, these children actually state their physical and intellectual development in many forms of assessable expression, including drawing. The objective of this study is to identify the drawing characteristics of 2 to 6 years old children to specific phases of Lowenfeld Artistic Development namely Scribbling, Pre-Schematic, Schematic and Realism. 50 children in Bachok, Kelantan were gathered to participate a structured drawing test, and the results were compared to analytical and perceptual ability especially in observation, analysing, understanding and expressing. The finding may be useful to bridge artistic activities with critical achievements of children’s development.

The article discusses the changes that occur in the drawings of children as they grow up. Based on the analysis of studies of children’s drawings and taking into account their own pedagogical experience, the author’s periodization of children’s visual activity was compiled. Its age stages and stages of artistic development of children aged from 1 year to 12 years are reflected in it. The characteristics of children’s drawings at each stage are given, the corresponding features of the children’s pictorial activity, their relation to the drawing process and their artwork are analyzed. Brief methodological recommendations are given on the organization of the pictorial activity of children at each of the distinguished stages.

Two experiments are reported in which the relationship between the orientation of the typical contour of a lamella in relation to the observer, and the ability of the observer to learn the correct position and orientation of sets of lamellae in three-dimensional arrays, was examined. For lamellae presented with their typical contour in a plane other than the observer's frontoparallel plane, the results of both experiments indicated that participants encoded lamellae in such a way that their typical contour appeared to be closer to the observer's frontoparallel plane than the respective stimulus. The relationship of the present findings to previous results on children's drawings and to the concept of the picture plane are considered.
