The Creative Arts: A Process Approach for Teachers and Children (3rd Edition)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This unique book engages future teachers in the processes of creativity to encourage creative growth and participation in their classrooms. It emphasizes process, rather than product, so teachers learn that once they tap into their own creativity they are better equipped to help children participate in the creative process. The author's goal is to shift readers from depending on prescribed activities and products to a more secure awareness of everyone's ability to participate in the creative process, regardless of the product. Discusses noteworthy studies in music and movement, art, creative dramatics, and literature. Highlights the potential of multicultural arts as a resource for creative expression and awareness. Includes a section on national standards for visual and performing arts and the President's committee on the arts and humanities. Addresses the eight intelligence (naturalist) and discusses all eight intelligences in each chapter. For future teachers of the creative arts.
