Description
This publication provides insight into an interdisciplinary view of artistic development. The authors explain art as a symbolic activity by which children convey their ideas and feelings, examine how this mode of communication is socially constituted and portray artistic activity as a manifestation of human development. Scholars who are interested in theoretical and historical approaches to the study of artistic development will find this publication a valuable contribution. In particular it will appeal to developmental psychologists, educational psychologists, educators, and other social scientists, as well as to art theoreticians, philosophers, and art historians.
