Synopsis

An arts text for future early childhood teachers that examines the affective aspect of creativity and its integration into day-to-day teaching. Focusing on parts of the creative arts curriculum - music and movement, art, creative dramatics and literature, the author links concepts of creative development and information-processing theory to actual classroom applications. Themes of self-expression, self-feeling, and self-exploration are evident throughout the narrative, helping students more clearly understand the experience of children in the early years. The experiential presentation provides basic information on all areas of the creative arts curriculum. While allowing instructors freedom to arrange topics and coverage to meet the particular needs of their students. "Teaching Strategies" sections in each chapter give students hands-on practice in planning, designing and implementing creative arts experiences for the early childhood classroom. Strong pedagogical structure serves as a helpful organizer for students and instructor.
