Title: Drawing in art education research: A literature review
Abstract: Drawing remains a central part of many K-12 art curricula, both in Australia and overseas, and research continues on what children draw in their own time. This paper contextualizes current approaches to research on drawing as part of art education by examining the history of research on drawing. Five major theoretical approaches are examined, including their relationship to the concept of art and their primary methods. These five approaches are described according to their chronological appearance. The approaches are named as mental operations, aesthetic expression, mental and emotional health, procedural, and social practice.
