Synopsis
About this title

It is not uncommon for the drawings of our little ones to end up in the wastepaper basket. Yet these early artistic expressions contain important statements about children's development. From the first scratches and scribbles to the detailed sketches of houses and people, children's drawings are significant manifestations of inner processes―indications of the gradual incarnation into a physical body.

Michaela Strauss's classic book is a pioneer work that can strengthen observation, understanding, and love for the being of the child, both in the parental home and in the kindergarten. First issued in 1978, this revised edition has improved reproductions and a larger format.

Fully illustrated in color.

About the Author:

Michaela Strauss built on the work of her father Hanns Strauss (1883–1946), a painter and art teacher who collected thousands of children's drawings and compared and evaluated them. Stimulated by Rudolf Steiner's lecture course The Study of Man (The Foundations of Human Experience), this research became Hanns' life's consuming interest. Following her father's early death, Michaela continued his research and brought this book to publication.
