This book traces the development of artistic talent from early childhood to adolescence through a series of studies that look comparatively at development in talented and less-talented populations. It presents a model of artistic talent that attributes individual differences to the figurative abilities of talented children. The model proposes that artistic talent results from the continual coordination of heightened figurative abilities with conceptual processes throughout a period critical in semiotic development. The studies focus on the development of form, spatial relationships and composition. Milbrath's theory is richly supported by original examples of children's artwork.

Patterns of Artistic Development in Children will be read and appreciated for years to come, inspiring and guiding inquiry into the heterolore elusive topic of the nature of talent."

"Patterns of Artistic Development in Children is a highly ambitious and scholarly undertaking that integrates findings from the domains of cognitive psychology and the psychology of drawing. Dr. Milbrath is to be complimented on her integration of cross-sectional and longitudinal data, on her qualitative as well as quantitative analysis of data, and on her careful analysis of case materials. This book will serve as an excellent source for generating productive research hypotheses, and will encourage further exploration of normative development and the role of talent in the domain of the graphic arts." American Journal of Art Therapy
"This is the most scholarly, comprehensive review of children's artwork to date." Contemporary Psychology
