Juli was very mental, very precise and very intelligent. The apples are neatly colored and all colors are appropriate and within the lines. She wanted each session to remain the same with no deviation. The goal with Juli was to develop her spontaniety and creativity and to reduce the need for perfection and sameness. As part of the form drawing session, I ask the child to copy what I've drawn, which are straight lines, curves or various symbols.
Most children are able to start a line but have trouble finishing it.
The majority of children can copy a line from left to right but not in the opposite direction. It's obvious in this slide that Juli had absolutely no problem duplicating the objects I drew with a dark green marker. The need appeared even greater to focus on the right side of the brain. Juli had no problem finding the hidden objects in pictures. As soon as she entered the room, she went to the marker board and began to draw charts of children in her class.
