“I merely want you to observe that it (visual
language development) is universal and is
found not only in the scribbling of children but everywhere the making of signs has had a symbolizing
purpose—which is from the Neolithic Age
onwards.”

Basic Scribbles – Visual interest is an essential component of scribbling, whether on not it is primary.

Placement Patterns – Require a well-defined perimeter, a frame of some kind.

Simple shapes (Diagrams) are
prevalent in young children's artwork. They repeat theses shape often as a way to use
them in a new way.
![Page 10: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)

Diagrams are put together to create Combines (two shapes)
![Page 12: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Examples of
Combines are
readily found in
young children’s
drawings and
paintings.

More than two diagrams placed together become
Aggregates; eventually leading to early Pictorials.

When a child discovers that she can make designs,
she draws confidently and
with real flourish. This design has
everything—circles, squares,
triangles, crosses, and shapes that
defy classification.
![Page 16: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Simultaneously, young children are
experimenting with Mandalas,
Suns and Radials which eventually become their first
attempts at portraying
the human form—among other
representations.
![Page 17: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Mandalas
• Sun
• Radial

Mandalas
![Page 19: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Sun symbol is repeated in all
of these pictures—
though some are faces, some
are purely decoration, and some could be big fat spiders lying in wait for
Little Miss Muffet.
![Page 20: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Radials can be common
asterisks, plants with fronds,
Fourth of July explosions, or if the center of the
radial is expanded, a familiar sun.
![Page 21: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
This pensive sun had its origin in a
painting of the sun. One of its elongated rays
forms the stem.
![Page 22: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
This is a mandala-type human. The
parts are arranged to fit beautifully in a circle. The lines
at the top right of the painting complete the circle, not the
human.
![Page 23: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
There is charm in a child’s early
Humans. Whatever his treatment of
arms and legs and faces, the total effect is always “good
design.”
![Page 24: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Note of overall balance found in
these early human forms. Consider there predecessors:
Mandalas, Suns, and Radials.
![Page 25: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Children’s early Pictorials are
not mainly based on
observations of objects and
persons in the child’s
environment.
![Page 26: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Aside from Humans, the
early pictorialism of
child art may be grouped under the following
headings:
Animals
![Page 27: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Buildings
![Page 28: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Vegetation
![Page 29: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Transportation
![Page 30: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Four suns, drooping smoke, and
exaggerated rainbows may be necessary to
give balance to children’s
compositions. The first four drawings have in
common the remarkable sense of
spacing which is natural to children.
![Page 31: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The drawing in the upper right of the hungry cowboys home from the
round-up shows perfect balance if
not perfect etiquette. And what could be more balanced
than the picture of the houses
frolicking around in logical disorder!
![Page 32: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Objects found in early pictorials are not drawn or painted as
they are found in the
environment, but in sizes needed to complete
patterns or achieve other
aesthetic goals.
![Page 33: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The critical period in child art is
between the ages of five and seven.
The child who feels free to use the colors and basic shapes
which please her will continue to
flourish artistically when she moves into pictorial work.
![Page 34: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
As a result of her research Kellogg contends:
• The uniformity of child art throughout the world leads me to believe that the human mind is predisposed to remember—that is, to like—certain variations and to discard others...child art seems to be a balanced, self-regulated source of stimulus, at least until adults attempt to guide it.
• Humans are not drawn from life, nor are they crude, immature, stumbling efforts in art. They represent an advanced stage of the child’s evolving mental capacity to create complex Gestalts of great interest to the human eye.
• Again, drawings do not accurately reflect children’s conceptions or perceptions of objects. Consider “task demand analysis” proposed by Golomb.

“...It is
through
the process of
art that art
itself unfolds.”
“It is not the
adult’s
answer but
the child’s
striving to her
own answer that is crucial.”
Lowenfeld
Scribbling Stage
![Page 37: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
• Motor activity utilizing large muscles
• Kinesthetic pleasure• Looks away while
scribbling• Utilizes drawing
surface; sometimes scribbling beyond paper
• Ignores previous marks
• No attempts at human representation
Disordered Scribbling
![Page 38: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Controlled Scribbling • Smaller marks• Repeated
motions• Watches
scribbles while drawing
• Stays within drawing area
• Draws around previous marks on the page
• May concentrate on certain parts
• Prefigural marks made—circles loops...
![Page 39: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Named Scribbling • Relates marks to things known
• Holds tool between fingers
• Identification of subject may change in the process of making
• Scribbles placed purposely
• Empty space may take on meaning
• Lines become edges of shapes
• Scribble may be identified as a person
• Action may be named; such as jumping, running
![Page 40: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Preschematic Stage“A different
method of
drawing has begun with the creation of form; the beginning
of graphic communication. Now children are
consciously making forms that have
some relationship to the world around
them.”
Lowenfeld
![Page 41: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
“Although it is not clear just how the person symbol
originates, the universality of the circle for the head and the two lines representing legs
gives support to the notion that this is
somehow biological in nature; that is, all
children, either through their sight, hand control,
or cognitive development, make surprisingly similar configurations for a
person.”
![Page 42: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
“The drawn symbol is not particularly influenced by the
real world.”
“At times children will regress to an
earlier stage...growth is never a smooth
process.”
Lowenfeld
![Page 43: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)

• Objects seems to float around page
• Paper sometimes turned or rotated while drawing
• Size of objects not in proportion to one another
• Objects are distorted to fit space available
![Page 46: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
• People are looking at viewer, usually smiling
• Distortion and omission of body parts is to be expected
• Clothes, hair and other details expected by the end of this stage
![Page 47: Early Childhood Art Rhoda Kellogg. “I merely want you to observe that it (visual language development) is universal and is found not only in the scribbling.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062517/56649ef35503460f94c05dc9/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
“Any motivation
should make the
art experience
much more than
just an activity; it
should stimulate
a child’s
awareness of her
environment and
make her feel that
the art activity is
extremely vital and
more important than
anything else.”
Lowenfeld

Art Production is Multimedia
• Biologically and culturally propelled.
• Children do not lose their earlier approaches to art production, but incorporate them or return to them as needed throughout their lives.
• Art production is a blend of graphic , verbal and kinesthetic expression that reveals the child’s thought processes.
