As someone who feels "artistically" challenged, this book makes me feel a lot more confident introducing art and art materials to my 14 month old. Yes, my 14 month old! If I hadn't read this book I probably would have waited a LOT longer to introduce art materials to him, but Striker argues that babies as young as 6 months can be introduced to crayons and paints. She gives loose guidelines for what to expect at what ages, which is really helpful for someone who has no idea what to expect. Above all, she argues that a parents role is to hand the child the materials and then GO AWAY. Okay, not go away, but she argues fervently against "teaching" in anyway; doing so, she argues, can diminish a child's creative spirit. She is adamantly against coloring books or other "clever" art projects for children, arguing that they are too constrictive. Children need access to art materials to explore however they want. Realistic about cleanliness, she offers suggestions to how to contain the chaos as best as possible; however, as a parent, I have found it most freeing to read that "it's really ok if all your baby does is eat the crayon for a while. It's part of the process, really." Because, he does eat the crayons. But then he's also started scribbling, which is so cool. If you are a parent of a kid under age 4 (or plan to have kids someday) read this book! It's changed how I think about art and children. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
From the creator of the bestsellingAnti-Coloring Book series with more than 600,000 copies sold, a new parenting guide to encouraging creativity in preschool-age children Young at Artis the first and only comprehensive book for the general audience about the nature, value and impact of art on very young children. Directed towards parents and educators of one to five year olds, Susan Striker explains why children's art is not a frill, but the very foundation upon which all later fundamental skills are built. She drives home the idea that encouraging children's artistic growth will have beneficial effects on all other aspects of their emotional and intellectual development. At the core of this practical guide is the understanding that art is an important tool in teaching young children crucial concepts related to self-expression, reading and writing. As opposed to more structured exercises, such as coloring on dittos and underlining pictures in workbooks, Striker stresses that scribbling and free drawing experiments are the most important art activities a child can engage in; they better prepare children to read independently as they grow. Young at Art provides descriptions for age-appropriate art activities, tips for carrying them out safely, and helps parents recognize what a child's art work should look like at each stage of development. WithYoung at Art, parents will develop realistic expectations of their children's work, learn how to speak to their children about their art, and facilitate skills well beyond their creativity that will benefit children.
