Dr. Kindler’s research led to the development of a system’s approach to the understanding of development in pictorial representation. This theoretical framework accounts for the interplay between the psycho-biological, social and cultural factors that impact on human ability to deploy visual means for expressive and communication purposes and which determine artistic success. This work has informed art education theory and practice internationally.
