Teaching Art to Young Children 4-9 Summary:
|
This second edition of a classic and popular book includes new chapters, figures and colour plates. The book blends practical ideas with sound principles of art education. For the teacher or trainee-teacher looking for ideas, there are plenty of tested classroom examples. For those looking for firm principles of art teaching and 'best practice', this book presents many important issues in art education with clarity and insight. Based on first-hand experience of teaching children, the book uses many examples from the school situation. Essential topics, such as developing skills through using media, how children draw, producing original artwork, developing ideas and Art and the digital image are tackled with realism and imagination. An important feature is that these subjects are not seen in isolation but are purposefully linked with other areas of the curriculum. The author's approach should encourage teachers to develop and think about art in the National Curriculum. His writing shows a deep sympathy with children and sensitivity to the real task of teaching art to the young. |

| 'This excellent book brings theory and practice together clearly. It can be applied directly to classroom practice and will be useful in developing teachers' thinking about art and the children they teach' - Harvard Educational Review 'I found myself continually looking back over sections and rereading. What better recommendation can there be than that?...An eminently readable and practical book which should prove a very worthwhile purchase for many primary-school teachers' - Journal of Art and Design Education Teaching Art to Young Children blends practical ideas with sound principles of the value of creative work with young children. Rob Barnes presents many current and important issues in art education with clarity and insight. Based on first-hand experiences of teaching children, essential topics such as 'how children draw', 'design and problem-solving' and 'developing ideas' are tackled with realism and imagination. Furthermore, these subjects are not seen in isolation but are purposefully linked with other areas of the school curriculum. Rob Barnes does not set out to persuade us that his view is the only one and his approach should encourage teachers to develop and rethink from their own beginnings. His writing shows a deep sympathy with children and sensitivity to the real task of teaching art to the young. |
