In this regard, learning to draw is like learning a language, and as with language children use these rules creatively, making infinite use of finite means. Learning to draw is thus, like learning a language, one of the major achievements of the human mind. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTheories of perception developed in the second half of the 20th century enable us to construct a new theory of children's drawings that can account for their many strange features. Earlier accounts contained valuable insights, but recent advances in the fields of language, vision, philosophy, and artificial intelligence now make it possible to resolve the many contradictions and confusions inherent in these early writings. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJohn Willats has written a book that is accessible to psychologists, artists, primary and junior schoolteachers, and parents of both gifted and normal children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Willats\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0805845380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780805845389\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Psychology Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 274\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.94h x 6.24w x 0.68d","brand":"John Willats","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44302084243711,"sku":"9780805845389","price":56.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3ce9a99-fdb4-4c3c-9b4d-b9e6dc5b4eef.jpg?v=1695159425","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-sense-of-childrens-drawings-john-willats-9780805845389","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
