Criteria and Processes Used by Seven-Year-Old Children in Appraising Art Work of Their Peers.

Cunningham, Alan

Visual Arts Research, v23 n1 p41-48 Spr 1997

Investigates the way that young children make aesthetic judgments about art works made by peers. Indicates that there are three phases in response formation: an initial response, a judgment based on more formal criteria, and an emotional response. Notes that children often needed prompting questions to reach the latter phases. (DSK)
