Dawning Realism: The Gang Age
AGES: 9-11 years
When a student reaches dawning realism (Lownfeld), they begin to realize the possibilities connected with visual communication. As children become more aware of their surroundings, their desire to depict things in a naturalistic way greatly increases. Lownfeld also refers to this stage as the "gang stage" because social connections and peer influences strongly affect children's artwork during this period.
