Children's Self-Portraits Reveal Personal Narratives

Children's Self-Portraits Reveal Personal Narratives


I really enjoy that in this article the speaker/ teacher really take the time to analyze and take children's art into serious conceptual consideration. I believe that children's art indeed is packed with personal symbols and meaning. If you ever have questions about this you should ask a child about there art, they will tell you a whole story about the piece.
