Book Reviews of Young at Art: Teaching Toddlers Self-Expression, Problem-Solving Skills, and an Appreciation for Art
Book Review: Best Book EVER!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Anyone interested in teaching art to children should read this book. All parents of young children should read this book. I ordered it after reading an interview with the author that was posted on the Artful Parent blog. I love how Striker explains the way children progress through their art abilities according to a developmental model. Striker stresses that children naturally do art as they are meant to and that parents don't need to show them how to do it. She does a great job explaining the difference between arts and crafts. I learned many ways to facilitate quality art experiences for my son. I feel this book has helped me foster his natural abilities and honor the artist within him, rather than trying to show him how to draw, paint, etc. Best of all, this book has helped me to relax and just have fun with art. It's even inspired me to try to create art as a child would, with no preconceived ideas about "what" i should be making. I love this book and HIGHLY recommend it. I even loaned it to my son's preschool teacher and she was so impressed with it that she told me she was going to buy her own copy!
