What Do Children Learn When They Paint?

Eisner, Elliot W.

Art Education, 31, 3, 6-10, Mar 78

Based on the presumption that art teachers ought to be able to describe the value of what they do and place it within a framework for rationalizing the contributions of their work to the educational development of the students they teach, this research is an attempt to describe what children learn when they paint, draw, or make three-dimensional images.
