Using examples of children drawing in a year one classroom I will examine the dialogic engagement with drawing. Drawing dialogues allowed these children to move from spontaneous concepts to more scientific concepts and played an important role in promoting higher mental functions. I will suggest that when drawing is used in a collaborative and communicative manner it becomes a powerful meaning-making tool. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | International Art in Early Childhood Research Journal, v.1 (1) | Publisher: | International Association of Art in Early Childhood | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1837-0020 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 130201 Creative Arts, Media and Communication Curriculum and Pedagogy 130102 Early Childhood Education (excl Maori) |
