摘要：

Although children's drawings have been studied from several perspectives, their status as works of art has not been considered. It is possible that only at a certain point in development do children's drawings begin to exhibit characteristics of the aesthetic. Proceeding from a definition of the aesthetic proposed by Nelson Goodman, a set of tasks was devised to examine this possibility. First-, fourth-, and sixth-grade children were tested for their sensitivity to the dimensions of syntactic repleteness (e.g., line variation) and expression (i.e., the feelings conveyed by a work). First-grade children displayed little capacity to produce or perceive aesthetic characteristics. Fourth-grade children displayed significant capacities to perceive these characteristics in drawings, and by the sixth grade children demonstrated considerable capacities to exhibit these aesthetic characteristics in their own drawings.
