Answer to Question 1

ANSWER: The curves, patterns, and lines that children make are similar to letters and words. The awareness of spatial relationship and configurations on the page relates to reading skills. Distinguishing painted forms, lines, and patterns from the background requires
the same discrimination as reading.

Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: Placement stage (definite patterns of scribbles placed in the left half, right half, center, or all over the page); shape and design stage (combinations of scribbles forming definite shapes and designs); pictorial stage (structured designs that begin to look realistic)
