Pre-schematic phase (4-7 years): In this stage, symbols and shapes are used to discover relationships and their atmosphere. Through this, their knowledge is built. Schematic phase (7-9 years) During this stage a schema is developed by the child in a consistent manner. It shows how the child perceives the environment or an object. The child in this stage exhibits his or her knowledge of things through images on the drawing books. Realistic phase (9-12 years) During the realistic phase, the child begins to focus on details and structures in the drawing books. They become sensitive of their peers and details of things in the drawing books. Pseudo-naturalistic stage (12-14 years): The pseudo-naturalistic stage the children concentrate on the product and try as much as possible to please their parents and peers. Crisis of adolescence/ artistic decision (14-17 years): This is the adolescent stage where a cognizant choice has to be made in order to continue the drawing and a visual thinking process is engaged.
