Abstract: | In order to study the influence of style and subject matter on the development of children's art preferences, 60 randomly selected subjects from three grade levels, with an equal number of males and females, were shown ten color slides of paintings representing five categories of subject matter and two broad categories of style. Results indicated that style was the dominant variable at each grade level, and consistently accounted for more of the overall variance than subject matter. Unexpectedly, no appreciable developmental differences were evident in preference judgments across grade levels observed in this study. |
