Art Therapy Activities Scribbler Art Therapy Activities Video Lecture

hi I'm Deb shoemaker and I'm an art
therapist with integrated therapy
associates and I'm going to present to
you now some information about the
scribble stage and how it's used in art
therapy the scribble stage is a
developmental stage of drawing that we
all do when we're infants and toddlers
and we start to make symbols around age
three four if we're developmentally on
target
there's not really a scribble stage in
art therapy so it's it is actually a
developmental stage of art and
developmentally it's an indicator of age
usually I know a little background
because of intake I've talked to the
parent or guardian but if I didn't know
much about someone developmentally it
would certainly reveal itself in the
artwork and then some if an older child
we say an eight year old or a fifteen
year old or a 25 year old were
scribbling that would be a red flag that
there was a developmental delay a severe
developmental delay and that was some
basic information about the scribble
stage
