Our youngest learners offer an abundance of energy, curiosity, and little formal training. This enthusiasm and wonder provide opportunities to explore the world of art with inquiry and little inhibition. In this course, participants will better understand the intricate developmental characteristics and needs of the early childhood learner. Explore early childhood philosophical approaches and teaching methods for curriculum design, utilize strategies for a productive and engaging studio space, and embrace the creative expression of preschool through 2nd-grade learners. Learn to balance the productive play and structure needed to grow in early childhood education. Participants will end this course with a variety of curriculum and management plans for direct application in the art room, as well as the confidence to teach and nurture the artmaking and creative thinking skills of their young artists.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
