This paper looks at developmental review on child art and the best representation of child art. The development of a child depends heavily on what their mind and body interacts with. Art is the best way for this interaction to be made possible and is almost natural for every child. The function of the brain, the sensory nerves, and the motor skills are enhanced through child art. The way a child communicates back to what they see around them is through art which can be seen at the different development stages. Further will look at the importance art, Art is important because it helps the child express their fears, ambitions and showcase their talent to the rest of the world. It can be used as a means of therapy to understand what the child is going through or what they may be struggling with. Also the role of gender and adults on children art, it should therefore be encouraged that every parent, guardian, or teacher should provide the materials for art and engage their children in a way that keeps their spirits high so that they may freely express themselves even as they grow older. Lastly is evaluation of stages of development on children. It is therefore important to acknowledge the stages of development in a child and especially through the use of art, from when they start to doodle unrecognizable lines to when they can balance their images and show their understanding of the world through art masterpieces.
