Before this stage the objects that child would draw would appear to float in space, but at about five to six years old the child introduces a baseline with which to organize their space. This baseline is often a green line representing grass at the bottom of the paper.

The figures stand on this line. Slightly older children may also add secondary baselines for background objects and a skyline to hold the sun and clouds. It is at this stage that cultural influences become more important.

Children not only draw from life, but also copy images in their surroundings. They may draw copies of cartoons. Children also become more aware of the story -telling possibilities in a picture. The earliest understanding of a more realistic representation of space, such as using perspective, usually comes from copying. As children mature they begin to find their symbols limiting. They realize that their schema for a person is not flexible enough, and just doesn't look like the real thing.

At this stage, which begins at nine or ten years old, the child will lend greater importance to whether the drawing looks like the object being drawn. This can be a frustrating time for some children, as their aspirations outstrip their abilities and knowledge. Some children give up on drawing almost entirely.

However others become skilled, and it is at this stage that formal artistic training can benefit the child most. The baseline is dropped and the child can learn to use rules such as perspective to organize space better. Story-telling also becomes more refined and children will start to use formal devices such as the comic strip.

Art therapy can be an effective way for children to develop and connect with their emotions. Some children with autism have found that drawing can help them to express feelings that they have difficulty expressing otherwise. Similarly children who have faced horrors such as war can find it difficult to talk about what they have experienced directly. Art can help children come to terms with their emotions in these situations. After visiting a children's art display in San Francisco in the s, educator John Holt stated that, " An understanding of adultism might begin to explain what I mean when I say that much of what is known as children's art is an adult invention.
