It provides support for practitioners in developing a pedagogy of drawing in Art and Design and across the curriculum, and offers advice for parents about how to make sense of their children's drawings.; "Making Sense of Children's Drawings" is enlivened with the real drawings of seven young children, collected over three years. These drawings stimulated dialogues with the children, parents and practitioners whose voices are reported in the book. The book makes a powerful argument for us to radically re-think the role of drawing in young children's construction of meaning, communication and sense of identity. It provides insights into the influence of media and consumerism, as reflected in popular visual imagery, and on gender identity formation in young children. It also offers strong messages about the overemphasis on the three Rs in early childhood education.
