The Way They See It

Product Description

Sample

Used regularly, this book will expand the scope and vision of what is possible for young artists. Twenty-six art appreciation lessons feature Master works by artists as diverse as Hokusai, Hicks, and O’Keeffe. Each lesson is followed by a project, giving preschoolers an early experience with the processes of making art.

This is not a coloring or activity book. It begins at the true beginning of any artistic production; seeing. As children become aware of the world in which they live, they will create original works of art in the way they see it. Each lesson begins with information for the parent on the nature of children’s artistic development that will help in understanding their art. |

Parents learn methods of teaching using real world examples that work with the purposes children have for making art. This book will suggest ways to turn art times into real educational experiences, resulting in enthusiastic artists who are ready to learn more, see more, and create more art.

This art curriculum for preschoolers has lessons exploring art masters plus additional art activities to explore proper handling of simple art materials: cut, paste, tape, holding a pencil, brush, etc.
