This document appears to be an assessment portfolio containing examples of children's drawings at different stages of visual language development. It includes examples of scribbling stages, pre-schematic stages, schematic stages, and the dawning realism stage. For each drawing, it provides information about the child's age and grade. The portfolio is assessing visual language development through analyzing features of the drawings like use of shapes, lines, color, and realistic details.

3. SCRIBBLING STAGE
Stephanie has drawn a
picture that displays the
stage of Longitudinal
(controlled) Scribble. Her
motions can be repeated
(left-right, right-left)
showing that she has
established visual control. She
is using a variety of colors.
5. SCRIBBLING STAGE
Tyler has drawn a picture

Stage. He was a great variety
of shapes, and a guideline of
the sky and the earth. His
definite relationship color use
is between color & objects,
such as yellow sun, blue sky,
green grass, and brown dirt.

Jenna has drawn a picture
that displays the Schematic
Stage. She was a great

rectangle, square, triangle, &
circles. Her spatial
relationship is definite aware
that the green bush is smaller
