For the young child, art is a way of solving problems, conceptualizing the world, and creating new possibilities.

In doing so, this book questions commonly held notions and opens up exciting new possibilities for art education in the early childhood classroom. A practicing teacher herself, Bentley uses vignettes of children's everyday activities--from block building to clean-up to outdoor play--to help teachers identify and scaffold the genuine artistic practice of young children.Book Features: Tangible examples of everyday art experiences told through lively classroom stories.

A "Voice of the Teacher" section that offers teaching strategies for extending children's thinking and learning. A wide range of ideas for teachers who feel they do not know how to "do" art.
