Piaget's Pre-Schematic Stage..

In the Pre-Schematic Stage many aspects of Education are key, such as Art Motivation, Space, Reflection of their growth, use of and meaning of color, subject matter and materials, like in all stages. Children between the ages of 4 to 7 fall into this category. This doesn't mean that all children in this age range are here, some children tend to fall behind artistically but may excel in other educational areas. Symmetry and shadow make their first appearance in this stage of artistic development for many children.

Another important thing to note is that the children begin to develop a logic of their own. Imagination also plays a large role because it serves as a significant means of self-expression and we've learned this from philosopher Jean Piaget. Ego-Centrism is apparent in this stage as well. Children display this in their art by placing themselves in the middle of whatever is going on in their art. They also begin to get color specific, such as making grass green and the sky, blue.
