Our middle school students worked with kindergarten and preschool students while studying low and Feilds stages of artistic development. They worked together to create Valentines. Through this interaction, middle school students were able to see the various stages from scribble, pre-schematic and schematic stages of art. These stages indicate milestones in a child’s development as far as being ready to read and write. Stages also indicate fine motor skills.
