Produktbeschreibung

Play, draw, design, and imagine. . . INSPIRE CREATIVITY! Explore how art is a natural fit with science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) investigations! Did you know the visual and performing arts are powerful curricular companions to early STEM experiences? The arts help young learners nurture and expand their creative- and critical-thinking, communication, and problem-solving skills. Open-ended art exploration captures students' interests and gets them excited about what they will experience next. These experiences include opportunities for students to observe, explore, question, predict, and even conduct simple science investigations. With guidance from the National Art Education Association (NAEA) Early Childhood Issues Group (ECAE) and the National Core Arts Standards from the National Coalition for the Core Arts Standards (NCCAS), Creative Investigations in Early Art provides early childhood educators with pedagogical practices, arts-content knowledge, and lesson ideas to build young children's experiences with integrated visual and performing arts. Teachers will learn practical ideas for intentionally fostering young children's hands-on, minds-on explorations connecting the following areas of the creative arts to STEM: * Music and Movement * Dramatic Arts * Visual Arts * Artists and Artworks Guide your young learners as they explore both on their own and collaboratively to develop their ability to innovate and imagine.
