Central Spatial Structures in Children's Drawings: Implications For How They Learn in the Classroom

In this paper I focus on Robbie Case's important contribution to the areas of spacial development in children's drawing. This work has helped us to see the images children make at different stages as reflections of their thinking. It has also helped us to see the process of thinking as spatial and artistic at the same time. This has implications for how we teach in the early years, and for how we conceptualize the early learner. For this paper I draw on studies that he did comparing children's drawing from China, Canada, Japan, and the US.
