<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>-Art Workshop for Children cultivates creativity and encourages deep thinking by encouraging a unique child-led approach to art projects---<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b><i>Art Workshop for Children</i> is not just another book of straightforward art projects. The book's unique child-led approach provides a framework for cultivating creative thinking and encourages the wonder that comes when children are allowed to freely explore the creative process and their materials.</b> <p/> As children work through these <b>open-ended workshops</b>, adults are guided on how to be facilitators who provide questions, encourage deep thinking, and help spark an excitement for discovery. <p/> Children explore basic materials and workshops that use minimal supplies, and then gradually add new materials to fill the art cabinets as well as new skills and more complex workshops. Most workshops are <b>suitable to preschool-aged children</b>, and each contains ideas for explorations and new <b>twists to engage older or more experienced artists</b>. </p><p>Interspersed throughout are <b>sidebar essays</b> that introduce perspectives on mess-making, imperfection, the role of adult, collaborative art, and <b>thoughts on the Reggio Emilia method</b>, a self-guided teaching philosophy. <p/> These pieces underscore the value of art-making with children, and support the parent/teacher/care-giver on how to successfully lead, question, and navigate their children through the workshops to result in the fullest experiences.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Bar Rucci</b> is passionate about two things: children and art. She is a professional graphic designer, art teacher, blogger, and mom to three creative thinkers. Bar graduated from Skidmore College with a degree in art and a minor in early childhood development. After college she spent a decade on artistic entrepreneurial pursuits. She painted murals, designed textiles, created a children's clothing line, and finally taught herself graphic design. It was this last venture that became her calling, allowing her to stay home and raise her children. In 2012, she began her blog, Art Bar, a place where she explores her love of child-led art experiences and handmade things. Soon thereafter she began teaching art in her home.
