ABSTRACT
The study of the early drawing of children shows that a significant and regulated development is found in the apparently valueless and planless drawing of children. It appears on the one hand as a progress in ability to draw and in increasing mastery of line and form ; on the other hand, progress in drawing is the expression of the gradual unfolding of the child's soul. For drawing is, like talking, a means of expression, crippled and undeveloped in the case of most grown-up people, but in the case of children still alive and full of activity, however incomplete the products may appear to adult eyes.
