Isn't it funny, that we call it a "stage", when kids "forget" the forehead and put the eyes up on top of the face; we have a visiting artist teach them about how the eyes are "really" halfway down the head . . . and yet as students of art, it takes us months or years to understand foreshortening, whereas kids have *always* seen these giant adults in a foreshortened perspective. Whose eyes wouldn't be on the top of their heads to someone viewing them from their knees? Kids probably have the best information, which is lost once we begin to "teach" them.
