The Pictorial World of the Child
This lavishly illustrated book gives a comprehensive and scholarly account of children's understanding and appreciation of art and their developing ability to produce their own pictures. It discusses the main influences on children's picture-making, and considers the intriguing question, does children's art follow the same pattern of development as the history of art? As well as discussing the artistic development of typically developing children, the book also includes a discussion of children with intellectual disabilities and those with a talent for art, some of whom are children with autism.
Children's Drawings of the Human Figure
The human figure is one of the earliest topics drawn by the young child and remains popular throughout childhood and into adolescence. When it first emerges, however, the human figure in the child's drawing is very bizarre: it appears to have no torso and its arms, if indeed it has any, are attached to its head. Even when the figure begins to look more conventional the child must still contend with a variety of problems: for instance, how to draw the head and body in the right proportions and how to draw the figure in action. In this book, Maureen Cox traces the development of the human form in children's drawings; she reviews the literature in the field, criticises a number of major theories which purport to explain the developing child's drawing skills and also presents new data.
Music Theory Is Fun
Music Theory is Fun Book 1, is the first in the newly revised five-book series by Maureen Cox. Using an attractive layout with clear examples and illustrations together with activities to reinforce learning and understanding, this book covers in an easy step-by-step approach: Treble clef, bass clef, notes and letter names Time names and values Dotted notes, tied notes and rests Accidentals, tones and semitones Key signatures and scales Degrees of the scale, intervals and tonic triads Time signatures and bar lines Writing music and answering rhythms At the end of the book there is a dictionary of musical terms and signs. In response to popular demand, Maureen Cox has added a new feature: a collection of puzzles and quizzes and a set of ten one-page tests of questions typically encountered in exams. A book of answers to the quizzes and test questions is forthcoming.
Children's Drawings
This book offers an illustrated introduction to understanding and fostering children's drawing. It examines step-by-step discovery of proportion and perspective, the typical early errors - the tadpole figures, chimneys sliding off roofs, the huge air gap between ground and sky - and explains why children often depict not what they see, but what they know is there. Art, argues Maureen Cox, can be used or abused in assessing personality and diagnosing problems. As long as we believe drawing is a mysterious gift, only very highly motivated children will make progress. She concludes by suggesting how parents and educators can help foster the talents of both ordinary and exceptionally gifted children.
