This book was written for academics and educators who want to learn more about the role of Visual Arts in the care and education of preschool and school-age children. The authors combine the scientificity of theory and research with the experience and lessons of application, thus helping the readers of this book to better understand how Visual Arts can become an exciting adventure in every preschool and school-age program and why it is necessary to do so. With rich illustrations from works and photos of young children creating Art and appreciating Art, this book shows on the one hand how the High/Scope educational approach rightly treats Art as a valuable component of preschool and school-age programs and on the other hand how Aesthetic Education enhances child development in other areas.
