ECE 145 - Children and the Arts


This course prepares students to effectively teach the arts to young children.  Students learn the role of creative movement, dramatics, music, and visual art in young children’s education through the exploration of their own creative identity and become comfortable in using integrated teaching methods, which nurture creativity in young children.  Through discussion and analysis of current research and theory in the teaching of the arts, they also learn how to choose and use multicultural fine artworks, music, and children’s literature, how to use the arts in inclusionary practice, and how to assess children’s artistic progress to enhance children’s creative development in the arts.
