As a primary visual language, essential for communication and expression, drawing is as important as the development of written and verbal skills.

Crisis of adolescence/ artistic decision (14-17 years): In the adolescent stage, a conscious decision must be made to continue drawing and engaging in visual thinking. Images created become highly individualised. Drawing is used in many fields like medicine to teach observation skills in diagnosis, in anthropology as a method of taking field notes, in science to document experiments and processes, in design to conceptualise ideas, in architecture to map out and spatialise buildings, and in technology to develop prototypes.
Many of these activities had multiple goals, such as matching colors while working on fine motor skills, or naming colors while putting them into rainbow order.
