Your Child Drew a Picture of His School Playground on a Large

Your child drew a picture of his school playground on a large sheet of white paper. At the top of this page, he or she drew the school building, while the playground equipment, including seesaws and swings, were drawn toward the bottom of the picture. There is a tree near the entrance to the school. The trunk of this tree is blocking a portion of the windows by the main doorway to the school. There is a road beginning at the bottom of the page whose parallel lines grow closer together as the road passes the school. The children that your child drew near the bottom of the page appear larger than the children playing nearer the school. These "larger" children also are drawn with more detail, while the faces of the children playing closer to the school are blurry. Describe the pictorial cues that this "artist" used to achieve depth.
