Creativity is a key theme in early childhood studies at the moment and is increasingly highlighted in all manner of early childhood academic courses. This book will form the link between creativity and literacy with concrete examples of children′s meaning making, as well as offering a protocol for students to follow.
Do you want to understand young children′s development in greater depth? Would you like to see how they view the world around them, and what they think the future might look like?
Creativity in early childhood is an area of fascination for all those working with young children, and this book investigates why children create, and what their creations mean. Chapters describe the processes and depict the outcomes of meaning-making, and of making room for children′s voices through the open-ended activity of drawing.
Issues examined include:
- the increasingly popular use of multi-modal texts;
- links between creativity and literacy;
- the importance of art in early childhood;
- concrete examples of children′s meaning-making, from the author′s research.
We see how non-verbal and verbal communication is used to convey meaning, and how children′s voices emerge; the important role imagination and narrative play in the early and continuing development of children is emphasized throughout the book.
Ideal for students of early childhood, and for anyone working with young children, this book is a revelatory guide to the mind of the young child.
