Some Of The Important Work At City Hall.

Rhoda Kellogg (1898-1987, San Francisco CA) Her research demonstrated that children follow a predictable continuum of graphic development, from scribbles to finger paintings to certain basic forms, and that this development is universal across cultures.

"The bridge from the child world to adult thinking... Rhoda Kellogg was an early childhood scholar, theorist, educator, author, and activist who, for six decades, was in a near-continual state of processing child art...culminating in a sleeping archive in a Connecticut storage facility encompassing over two million drawings by children." Two hundred of these colorful developmental building blocks are displayed on the walls of the SF City Hall basement and light court.
