Overview
This new book on art and creativity for children is a sequel to Karla Cikanova's imaginative series of publications on painting and drawing. Focusing on activities suitable for eight- to twelve-year old children, Teaching Mixed Media to Children deals with spatial creativity and demonstrates that activities like drawing, painting and collage cannot really be separated. The author introduces children, through play, to the idea of shape - its surface, construction and place in space. She then relates spatial creative thought to easily available materials for application in mixed media and provides suggestions for the expression of concrete shapes and structures - both animate and inanimate. Children can try their hand at creating paper toys; designing houses, towers and castles; and producing fantastic animals and masks... there are many ways of encouraging creativity and stimulating the imagination. Teaching Mixed Media to Children has been arranged especially for adults who are involved with the art education of children - teachers, educationalists and parents.Book Details
