Creative Art& Activities

Creative Art and Activities is a developmentally appropriate book on nurturing creativity in children from age two through grade five. Teachers, caregivers, and parents will find it easy-to-use as a reference and teaching tool. In the book, author Mary Mayesky, Ph.D., explains the concept of creativity and'sthetics as they relate to the development of art and the basic developmental stages in art. She then suggests many creative projects including two- and three-dimensional art activities, as well as creative activities for use across the entire curriculum. Each activity lists necessary materials, preparation, and step-by-step procedures. For practical application of the material, she includes the special features This One's for You! and Food for Thought to add side information for consideration in every chapter.
