We had playgroup at our house today and 3 of the kids were sitting at our kitchen table drawing for a while, all of them born within a month or so of each other--they'll be 3 in the spring. I've found it very funny in the past that Alice has a distinctive style of drawing--it's the same circles with smaller circles in the middle. Over and over again, I've got notebooks full of them! Well after the kids left today I got to see their drawings and each of them had their own style as well. Very consistent but different than Alice's. One draws these very exuberant zig zags across the page, another did smaller spots like Alice does but more like little squares colored in. I'm just so curious about what they're minds are up to! Alice doesn't really identify her drawings yet so that doesn't help.
Curious if anyone out there knows anything about how drawing develops, or is it writing they're practicing?
Thanks!
