The focus of this book, now in it?s second edition, is on making the vital connection to music, movement, drama, and the visual arts in all areas of the classroom, as well as, developing creative teachers and professionals who will be able to foster an artistic environment. The book includes observations and pictures of teachers and children that demonstrate practical ways the arts can be used to help children reach their potential. There are expanded sections on multi-intelligences, Reggio Emilia, divergent questioning, and art recipes, and the book also includes literacy connections, and activities for adults at the end of each chapter. There are many ideas in the book for open-ended activities that are important for the development of young children and will encourage them to think in new ways. The standards and recommendations from professional organizations are addressed so that the reader can recognize what goals these organizations believe are important in the early years. Thorough in its coverage, the text speaks to children with special needs and cultural diversity, leaving the reader with the most complete information regarding arts in the young child?s learning environment.媒体推荐My overall impression of the text is that it is well-written covering the arts, not just the visual arts, but all of the arts.
The greatest strengths of this text are: the wonderful activities that are included the open-ended art activities. It is very difficult to find open-ended art activities the clarity with which the author speaks uses language that students relate to easily this book is just the right length so that I can bundle it with another book and the cost is kept to a minimum for the students.
Overall, I like this book. The content is interesting and presented in a very usable way. I am interested enough to look deeper into each chapter and find out what content is described and how the authors view each topic, such as play or creativity.
This book appears to be a very nice undergraduate text. It is well organized, and provides books, childrens literature, and web sites that are helpful at the end of each chapter some of the photographs are wonderful.
