GROWING ARTISTS: TEACHING THE ARTS TO YOUNG CHILDREN, 6th
Edition, provides early childhood educators with the theoretical framework
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, open-
ended dramatic arts, music, creative dance, and visual art activities that
foster children's creativity. Examples of teaching in action model how to be
an enthusiastic and effective teacher of the arts process. This book
provides a rich-resource of ideas and approaches that will inspire all those
who work with young children to explore the arts process with them.
