    Description
    This course focuses on creative art experiences for the child. Students explore the factors that affect children's development of creativity, artistic expression, and aesthetics. Developmentally appropriate art experiences are explored with the emphasis on process rather than product. The role of the teacher and the importance of the environment are discussed. Understanding and analyzing children’s art and its importance for the child’s overall development is studied. Students design creative art experiences to further the child’s creative expression and the role of art in STEM. Observation of children is required.
