Growing Artists: Teaching the Arts to Young Children (E-Book)
Description
GROWING ARTISTS: TEACHING THE ARTS TO YOUNG CHILDREN, 6th Edition, provides early childhood educators with the theoretical framework, current brain research, and background knowledge needed to design creative arts activities for young children from infancy through the primary grades. Beautifully illustrated with children's artwork, it features a wealth of child-tested dramatic arts, music, dance, and visual art activities that nurture children's creativity. The book emphasizes the creation of a safe, sensory-appealing arts program in which works created by diverse peoples and cultures are valued. Focus is also placed on where arts activities are integrated into a developmentally appropriate curriculum. Ideas for adapting arts activities for children with special needs are integrated into each chapter, as are TeachSource Video features and icons that identify helpful forms and artifacts available for downloading in digital format.
