FIGURE 6.14 early drawing appearances to the contrary, this is not random scribbling, as shown by what the 2½-year-old who produced it said about his work. As he drew a roughly triangular shape, he said it was a “sailboat.” A set of wavy lines was labeled “water.” Some scribbled lines under the “sailboat” were denoted as the “person driving the boat.” Finally, the wild scribbles all over the rest were “a storm.” Thus, each element was representational to some degree, even though the picture as a whole was not.
