Abstraction or realism?

Yesterday I red a very interesting article about illustration for children. The author writes about kids' perceiving of abstract forms and realistic drawings and she proves that kids (older than 5 years) prefer abstraction as it's more entertaining for them. As an example the author shows images drown by Květa Pacowska, a multi awards winning Czech illustrator.



Usually the parents choose books for their youngest kids, but maybe, after reading this article, you will start to ask them about their opinion instead? :)
