Gender Differentiation and Young Children's Drawings.

Chen, Weigh-Jen; Kantner, Larry A.

Visual Arts Research, v22 n1 p44-51 Spr 1996

Examines a number of variables in children's drawings (color selection, subject matter, artistic skills) for evidence of gender differentiation in these variables. Discovers differentiation in only two variables. Moreover, this dichotomy decreases from kindergarten to third grade suggesting an increase in sex equity due to education. (MJP)
