Drawing and Painting

Very few of our children, regardless of age, have any experience of drawing before they come to school and it seems surprising to see older pupils starting school and drawing very primitive images, particularly those of people. However, they then quickly seem to accelerate through the same stages of development as much younger children. Their drawing also shows many cultural influences in terms of forms and colours. We have extensive records documenting - with examples of their drawings - every child’s development through these stages. It is truly fascinating.
