"Children's Drawings" by Maureen V. Cox offers an illustrated introduction to understanding and fostering children's drawing abilities. The book examines the step-by-step discovery of proportion and perspective, typical early errors such a tadpole figures and misaligned chimneys, and explains why children often depict what they see, but what they know is there. Cox also discusses how art can be us or misused in assessing personality and diagnosing problems, emphasizing that long as drawing is viewed as a mysterious gift, only highly motivated children will make progress.
