Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on the most creative and humane early childhood methods of this century (Suzuki, Montessori, Reggio Emilia and others) as well as insights from eastern philosophy, this significant new work represents an innovative approach to preschool education. The author brings a thoroughly integrative orientation to bear in her understanding of how children can best develop academic and creative abilities. Based on her experience of designing the Houston preschool, Allegro Conservatory, the author’s approach is at once high-minded and down-to-earth. She offers the reader clear and simple explanations of rather profound philosophies as well as a practical means to put these ideas into effect. The first chapters delineate the school’s philosophy and discuss in some detail the qualities of a nurturing environment. Those sections also offer specific guidelines on developing positive parent, teacher and child behaviors. In step-by-step fashion, the book then demonstrates an imaginative, yet academic curriculum for young children. It emphasizes the early teaching of basic skills as well as training in the fine arts, especially music. Research on the “Mozart Effect” has stimulated recent parental interest in the powerful influence of music on the young child’s brain. This book takes that research one step further by advocating the child’s exposure to all types of greatness in subjects such as literature, art, drama and philosophy as well. This work represents a bright new expansion in the field of early childhood education. It leads the preschool educator from a narrow focus on letters, colors, numbers and socialization skills to a vast new realm of higher learning. Hopefully, its concepts will spark creative thought in the minds of all parents and educators who read it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book brings together thirteen distinguished critics and scholars to explore children's art and its profound but rarely documented influence on the evolution of modern art. It shows that children's art and childhood have inspired major works of art, served as central metaphors for artistic spontaneity and honesty, and provided a window into the fundamental human qualities explored by modern artists. The volume complements editor Jonathan Fineberg's groundbreaking new book, The Innocent Eye (Princeton, 1997), in which he showed how many of the greatest masters of modern art collected and were directly influenced by children's drawings. Contributors here both expand on Fineberg's themes and take the study of children's art in new directions. They examine, for example, the influence of child art on such artists as Kandinsky, Klee, Larionov, and Miró; the diverse styles of children's art; the influence of Romantic ideas on perceptions of children's art; the conception of giftedness versus education in children's drawings; and the relationship between children's art and primitivism. The book offers unique glimpses into the working processes of great modern artists, presenting, for example, Dora Vallier's personal recollections of Miró and his creative process, and new documentation about the works of the Russian avant-garde. The essays draw on art theory, psychology, and the close study of individual works of art and written texts. Discovering Child Art will appeal to a wide range of readers, including art historians, psychologists, and art educators. Contributors to the book are Troels Andersen, Rudolf Arnheim, John Carlin, Marcel Franciscono, Ernst Gombrich, Christopher Green, Josef Helfenstein, Werner Hofmann, Yuri Molok, G. G. Pospelov, Richard Shiff, Dora Vallier, and Barbara Würwag.

Book excerpt: This book is designed to answer some of the questions you may be asking deep inside yourself. You may not have even put certain questions into words, but just have a longing to find a solution to whatever is bothering you. If you are a young woman, you or your friends have probably battled with one or more of these issues: suicidal thoughts, depression, relationship struggles, eating disorders or health problems. Although this is a wide-range of subjects, I believe the answers to these challenges all lie in the same fundamental truths. You can discover these truths for yourself by observing your own experience and by beginning to understand the thoughts of enlightened men and women, such as Einstein, Jesus, the Dalai Lama, Buddha and other great teachers. Much of their guidance, I feel, will point you in this one direction—the purpose of your life is to know your own inner Self. You will be amazed to find that the closer you come to understanding how to do this, the closer you will come to being free from whatever problems weigh you down. It sounds so simple, and in way, it is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Monet to Renoir and from Boston to Paris, kids search famous paintings to complete a checklist of things to find in each. Are You an Art Sleuth? You probably are. Each of the twenty full-page paintings, drawn from museums around the world, are fun, lively, and full of small details, that can be spotted, counted and checked off a list of things to find. Invite children to see what they can discover when they look at art very closely. Following each close-up is an accompanying spread full of fun facts and activities, including write-in and draw-in projects related to the painting and the story it tells. Prepared by a member of the education staff of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, the facts and historical bits will be specially selected and written to engage young children and encourage them to come in closer and have fun looking at art. Some of the artists included in the book are Pierre-Auguste Renoir, Georges Seurat, Fra Angelico, Vittore Carpaccio, William Hogarth, Quentin Metsys, Claude Monet, Edouard Manet, William Holman Hunt, Hieronymus Bosch, Pieter Breughel, and Henri Rousseau.

Book excerpt: Why does one child straighten up with only a stern glance from Mom, while another may require her parents to take away privileges or give her a time out? According to Dr. Greg Cynaumon, it's because each child has a personal Discipline Quotient--a disciplinary "temperament" that makes some methods work better than others. Including individual self-tests to help parents identify the D.Q. of each of their children, this book promises not only to stop rebellion before it starts, but to bring families closer together.

Designs(R) art collection and introduces a visual art instruction vocabulary with 13 fundamental art concepts, plus 10 hands-on art and design exercises developed especially for beginning artists, ages 6 - 12, by respected California artist and art teacher, Michelle Abrams. Using this inspirational picture book as a guide, teachers, parents and kids can explore basic art and design lessons together and discover the natural imagination and creativity within all of us. Michelle says, "This book should encourage parents and students to take their artwork off the refrigerator, enlarge it, frame it and hang it on the wall. Treat it as 'fine' art - that's what we do!" Throughout the 30+ years Michelle has been teaching art, she's discovered that for a few fleeting years, young children have a delightfully innocent vision of the world. If we take the time to teach them basic visual art concepts and enthusiastically encourage and celebrate their efforts, we can easily discover their natural creativity.

During this precious time in their lives the artistic possibilities are infinite! To enjoy the complete Kids-Did-It!

This book breaks down the skills of debating into simple, memorable, and easy-to-follow chapters, and even covers the basics of coaching a school team and judging a debate competition. The skills of debating can help you achieve greater success at work and school, and this book guides you through a memorable 6-step process to apply “Debate-Thinking” to situations such as interviews, essay writing, impromptu speeches, presentations, and even leadership and management. You will never be at a loss for words again!
