Description
The presenters share authentic opportunities for young children to engage in visual and performing arts to facilitate their learning in investigative projects. The arts provide languages for young children to express themselves, represent their thinking and advance their learning. The presenters share examples of the use of varied media, intentionally designed aesthetic environments, opportunities for children's collaboration, interdisciplinary learning, and the use of technology to offer authentic and challenging learning experiences for young children. The presenters also share how their personal reflections of documenting students’ work facilitated more meaningful arts activities to challenge children with diverse needs.
