Connecting Ideas through Materials: Visual Arts Learning in the Primary Classroom.

Hafeli, Mary

Primary Voices K-6, v5 n2 p18-25 Apr 1997

Considers the importance of teachers learning about an artistic discipline in much the same way that language arts teachers are encouraged to write. Discusses knowing what materials can do, making materials mean something, and children's artistic intentions. Visits two second-grade classrooms in which working with clay invites students to think about their worlds in new and imaginative ways. (SR)
