Product Description
Review
"This text is well rounded and appropriate for the creative arts course at our college. My reason for choosing it is it is very visual, summarizes the content well and touches more deeply on holistic education. For the most part, I am really impressed with the variety of activities as well as the list of materials developed to inspire the creative process." - Susan M. Baxter, M Ed., El Camino Community College, California
"I think this edition shows great enlightenment in all sections, including Creativity, Young Children as Artist, Art & Aesthetics, Providing Art Experiences, and Roles and Strategies. The layout of the chapters are appropriate for instruction and this text is user friendly. There is not anything missing that comes to my attention." - Audrey W. Beard, Ed.D., Jackson State University, Georgia
" I like the open-ended activities designed for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners and school-age children. I like that the activities (called "hint") are ideas, not step-by-step directions or a "recipe" approach to teaching art." - Nancy W. Wiltz, Ph.D., Towson University, Maryland

Very helpful for teachers of young children!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Central Auditory Processing Disorders: New Perspectives [Illustrated] (Paperback)
This book guides early childhood educators through the concept of implementing early childhood art into their classrooms. It is very helpful in showing teachers how to focus on the "process" not the "product". There are also many wonderful ideas for special needs children, and for adding multicultural art experiences into the classroom.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent resource for teachers and to-be teachers!!,
By Kimberly - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: ^ Art and Creative Development for Young Children (Paperback)
I am taking a class right now about the art expereinces of young children and this is the required text for the class. I must say the book is very impressing. It goes quite into detail about the vast benefits of art for young children and also the developmental stages and such. The great thing about this book is that in each chapter it has TONS of projects and ideas that you can implement in your classroom in the future. There are also lots of recipes for several types of playdough (edible, smelly, etc.) and other things. It's such a great resource...I'm not selling this book back! :-)The book is also an easy read for those who hate reading textbooks. Half of each chapter is filled with ideas and such which probably are not neccessary when you read the chapter unless of course your teacher/professor will test you over them which mine does not. Anyways I highly reccommend the book to those in the early childhood art field right now. All the ideas in the book make it very worthwhile. I can't wait to graduate so I can use it in my own classroom! ^_^ 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Art and Creative Development for Young Children (Paperback)
I purchased this book for a class I am taking. This book is a good resource, and I plan to keep it after I've finished my class. It contains a lot of examples of projects that you can do with children of various ages. There is also an emphasis on safety and age appropriateness.
