Deep Structures in Children's Art: Development and Culture.

Abstract

Using detailed longitudinal studies in both Lon don, England, and in Singapore, this paper investigates the beginnings of visual repre sentation in early childhood. The study is concerned with understanding development and variation in the art of very young children and the implications this has for educational provision. It describes an interaction between an unfolding, natural, self-driven development, and what is available within the culture. Evidence is offered to support the theory that underlying children's use and organization of visual media are certain robust forms of behaviour, or deep structures (after Chomsky). The study investigates how these structures interact with what is available in the environ ment.
