Recenzii

"Goodman is an art and museum education specialist who . . . pays loving attention to children's artistic progression from those first scribbles, when primitive motor skills make holding the crayon a challenging task in itself, to the more elegant lines that appear to mimic ancient script. . . . The heart of the book lies in its 134 illustrations, many in vivid color. The heavily whiskered cat, the reclining dog, the family group seen from multiple perspectives, and the 'thought bubbles' emerging from those tadpole heads remind us why artists such as Paul Klee and Jackson Pollock were inspired by feelings, intellect, and creativity apparent in children's drawing."

"This beautifully illustrated book by Goodman, jam-packed with real examples of children’s drawings, takes readers through the different stages of drawing from scribbling and basic human forms through to visual schema and realism. Each one illustrates the well-researched text exploring how drawing processes help children express themselves and make meaning in the world, with super insights into what’s going on, such as when children’s drawings are disturbing. The book is full of excellent ideas and guidance on how to enable the best drawing possible, including which tools, resources, environments, attitudes will either help or hinder your child’s drawing, and how your emotional or value judgements have an impact on the way children draw. Aimed at parents and teachers alike, this is an essential MUST-HAVE in your creative armory."

"Having enjoyed watching my children draw over the years, I found this book fascinating. Goodman looks at each of the five stages in children‘s drawing development, explaining what is going on at each stage, such as how scribbling is primarily a physical enjoyment while making large muscle movements; when children discover they can transform a line into an enclosed shape; and why many preadolescent children feel more comfortable drawing anime characters."

"Informed both by psychology and teaching, and aimed at parents and carers, this richly illustrated book is a fascinating exploration both of why children draw, and the meaning and value of drawing for young people. Some of the art examples are truly wonderful."

"With a passion for the magic and importance of early childhood drawing and painting, Goodman successfully demystifies this complex activity, essential to children’s development. Goodman’s wisdom and knowledge offers a concise and refreshing look into the history and meaning of children’s art making, tracking important age-appropriate developments through abundant illustrations and insightful observations. Children Draw is an essential guide for parents and caregivers seeking to support this vital component in their child’s creative learning."

"Goodman's love and respect for children is evident throughout this brilliant investigation of how and why children draw. As a working artist, an uncle, and a grown-up version of a boy who loved to make pictures, I wholeheartedly recommend this book to any adult with a child in their life as well as anyone interested in drawing and the many ways it functions for children during the various stages of their development."

"Goodman’s delightfully illustrated and highly accessible text celebrates our imagination. In sharing her valuable insights, she reminds us that taking pencil to paper remains an essential human action. This book will help adults nurture a child’s personal development and expressive skills that will last their lifetime."

"Art doesn’t teach creativity, in the view of Goodman, author of the 2018 book Children Draw: A Guide to Why, When and How Children Make Art; it allows innate creativity to flourish. It doesn’t so much offer a platform to develop motor skills (by learning to colour inside the lines, for example, or to trace a stencil, both exercises she strongly discourages) as provide a meaningful way for children to use those skills to their own ends... Goodman’s book is practical, with helpful tips about materials, subject matter and how to offer encouragement without hemming children in with expectations and adult esthetics."
