This assignment will evaluate learners understanding of artistic development in children and bring them to a higher level where learners are also tested on their evaluation ability in recognizing the different stages of artistic development through observation of children’s artwork.
Some children begin displaying their artistic abilities as early as one-year-old. As they get older, they become better at manipulating artistic tools to create meaningful art. You may refer to Topic 5 in your course module for further details on creative art.
For this assignment, you are required to select ONE child aged 5 years old or younger. Collect 10 samples (in the form of pictures or video) of the child’s creative work/play. Discuss and identify which stage they represent, with reference to all the following theories:
1.Lowenfeld’s Stages of Artistic Development
2.Kellog’s Stages of Artistic Development
3.Piaget’s Stages of Artistic Development
4.Kerlavage Stages of Artistic Development
You are also required to discuss how early art education may benefit children in different aspects of their lives.
Refer to the guidelines provided in the rubrics given on the expected assignment content and also the basis for which marks are to be awarded for the assignment.
