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.
