O knihe

Young Children and the Arts: Nurturing Imagination and Creativity examines the
place of the arts in the experiences of young and very young children at home
and in out-of-home settings at school and in the community. There is great need
for development of resources in the arts specifically designed to introduce babies
and toddlers to participatory experiences in the visual arts, dance, music, and
storytelling/theater. This book presents valuable guidelines for early childhood
teachers, families, caregivers and community organizations.
Young Children and the Arts presents a comprehensive approach to the arts that
is aligned with early childhood developmentally appropriate practice and that
combines an exploratory, materials-based approach with an aesthetic-education
approach for children from birth to eight years of age. It addresses both how the arts are foundational to
learning, and how teachers and parents can nurture young children's developing imagination and creativity. The
models presented emphasize a participatory approach, introducing young children to the arts through activities
that call for engagement, initiative and creative activity.
Additionally, Young Children and the Arts addresses the intersection of early childhood education and the
arts-at points of convergence, and at moments of tension. The role of families and communities in developing
and promoting arts suffused experiences for and with young children are addressed. Young Children and the
Arts examines the role of innovative arts policy in supporting a broad-based
early arts program across the diverse settings in which young children and
their families live, work, and learn.
