In Search of Lowenfeld's Proof That Coloring Books Are Harmful to Children.
King, Irvin L.
Studies in Art Education, v33 n1 p36-42 Fall 1991
Examines studies, especially those of Viktor Lowenfeld, which suggest that coloring books are harmful to the creative expression of children. Proposes an alternative hypothesis that views coloring books as useful teaching tools to help children understand and appreciate art. Calls for further research into the issue. (KM)
