Description
This programme looks at children's drawings in two very different societies - in urban Dundee and Aboriginal Australia. The programme asks if children go through a universal developmental process o...r whether culture has such a significant influence as to show important differences. The programme aims to suggest that the generally accepted 'universal stages' theory should be questioned. New evidence is coming to light about cultural influences. We should therefore be very careful when attempting to analyse children's drawings.
