Drawing and Painting has been revised to reflect recent developments in early childhood education, in developmental psychology and in our understanding of children's development in the arts. John Matthews shows how this new model of children's development in visual representation has important implications for education. Also examined is children's development in visual expression and suggests how this development might be supported. The traditional approach describes children's development in terms of supposed deficits in which children progress from primitive earlier stages to superior ones, until the defects in their representational thinking are overcome and they arrive at an endpoint of visual realism. This approach is the pervasive influence on curricular planning, in arts education and in early years education.
