Child Development
Art Attack! Promoting Children’s Creativity

This learning event will review the developmental stages of art for children birth through 9 years of age and examine how this informs appropriate expectations for their artwork. Learners will compare teacher-directed projects with child-directed art experiences, discuss how each affects children’s development and learning, and discuss strategies for facilitating children’s creativity and free-expression. Ultimately, learners will connect the provision of appropriate art experiences in the classroom with intentional, effective interactions (CLASS) with preschool children.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
-Identify appropriate expectations for children’s artwork based on developmental stages of art.
-Explain the connection between child-directed artwork and other areas of development and learning
-Discuss strategies for facilitating children’s creativity/free expression
SPECIAL NOTES
This learning event Is being presented exclusively for American Youth Academy teachers on site, in person at their school facility.
Participants must be on time, attend all 3 hours, participate in group discussions and activities, and complete a self-reflection assessment to receive credit.
