{"product_id":"autism-art-and-children-julia-kellamn-9780897897358","title":"Autism, Art, and Children: The Stories We Draw","description":"\u003cp\u003eRather than approaching the art of precocious young artists with autism as enigmatic and symptomatic, their work is explored as having its origin in human physiology and in the intrinsic human need for meaning. The narrative images in these young artists' exceptional art serve as both evidence and focus, allowing us to see the commonalities of all art and image-making. No art has been considered more enigmatic than that of young children with autism, for their often extremely early drawings intrigue viewers with their vivid, visually-based, perspective emphasis. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSuch art, often spontaneously produced by artists frequently considered retarded, is difficult to understand within the usual constructs of drawing pedagogy that emphasizes the necessity of practice and experience for mastery. However, it is a useful means of expressing one's interior self and of sharing with others a tale of one's own creation. Finally, this expression forms enduring links with other people in the common human language of lines and forms.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Julia Kellamn,Julia Kellman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0897897358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780897897358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Praeger\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.60h x 6.42w x 0.66d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eScitech Book News\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2001 pg. 114","brand":"Julia Kellamn","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087044751615,"sku":"9780897897358","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b765eb12-ee8b-403a-bf35-806d707f712e.jpg?v=1769097983","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autism-art-and-children-julia-kellamn-9780897897358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
