Whether it is lucky accident or artistic talent, _______that young kids don’t intend to produce a realistic expression helps demonstrate what the drawing experience means to them. For many kids, drawing is exciting not because of the final _______leads to,but because they can live _______in the world of their drawing.

Alves, a prekindergarten teacher,recalled a student who________her with a drawing featuring a single straight line across the page. Alves assumed the child hadn’t given too much ________to the drawing until he explained that the ________was one of the mattresses(床垫)from The Princess and the Pea.
