2011 Summer Institute - Track 5
Art for Young Children
Back by popular demand! Developing well planned, educational, creative and age-appropriate art projects is essential in any classroom, and it can be challenging to ensure that these activities are an intentional and focused part of the curriculum and learning objectives. This workshop will cover topics such as: weaving art into your curriculum, children's art development, choosing developmentally appropriate art activities, setting the stage for art, using art to expand children's thinking skills, responding to children's art, and much more.
We'll be doing many hands-on art activities so that you can try them out before doing them with children, and you’ll come home with a resource file of activities to use in your classroom. Concerned about your own art abilities? No worries - the activities we'll do are designed to be successful for everyone.
