Shading techniques and variations in materials are discussed. (STS)

Article describes the techniques of transferring a crayon drawing from sandpaper onto white paper. (GB)

Investigated whether distinct phase of artistic development evolves in late adulthood. Older adults (n=24) completed drawing completion task. Data revealed changes in various aspects of line use across lifespan, but statistics were not powerful enough to support stage theory of late artistic development. (Author/NB)

Describes ways to enhance the practicability of latent transition analysis (LTA) by incorporating recent developments in latent class regression modeling. Illustrates the approach with the measurement of children's drawing development using data from 202 participants in a longitudinal study. (SLD)

Describes determining student responses to teaching through their drawings of the class situation. (SLD)

When young children copy a vertical line that protrudes from the midpoint of a pre-drawn oblique baseline, they tend to perpendicularise this line. We measured this bias for standard figures and for symmetrical angular figures. The 5- and 6-year-old participants produced the expected bias for the standard figures. However, these same children…

In the present action-research project, three teachers and the researcher engaged in a series of meetings to analyze children's drawings from several different theoretical perspectives, or "readings." Using two interrelated processes, deconstructive talks and an ethic of resistance, the teachers purposefully sought to recognize and…

This article describes how spatial instruction with preservice teachers can be implemented in a middle-grades mathematics methods class. A "Reflect and Discuss" section is included for professional development study. (Contains 4 figures.)

Much of the literature on teaching gerontology derives from experiences in face-to-face settings. There is limited discussion of either the applicability of teaching techniques drawn from the traditional setting to the online environment or the development of novel strategies to engage distance students of aging. We developed and assessed an…

The purpose of this article is to present an intervention, the externalization of client problems, which can be used to address non-suicidal-self-injurious behavior. Specific externalization techniques are discussed, including naming the problem, letter writing, and drawing. A case application and implications for practice are presented.

Until recently, qualitative research has made limited use of visual sources, particularly visual texts (drawing, painting or photographs), but also including multimodal data (video and web-based) and visual data (tables, graphs, charts, etc.). Thus, discussions of ethics and evidence in this area have lagged behind those related to textual data,…

Recently, artwork of child artists from the Carrolup settlement school in Western Australia was rediscovered in the archives of the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University. The young artists were among what was then called the half-caste children and now known as the Stolen Generation. Between the late 1800s and mid 1970s the Australian…

The purpose of this study was to investigate how concept cartoons, together with other diagnostic and scaffolding tools, could be used in formative assessment, to stimulate talk and argumentation among students in small groups, as part of peer-assessment and self-assessment; and to provide diagnostic feedback about students' misconceptions to the…

The origin of this article is an investigation of an academic course, "Graphic Arts and Design for students of natural and social sciences." The article describes the benefits of attending the class for the science students, which were an increased ability to solve problems, new and different ways to observe the environment, greater self…
