For all involved in teaching young children, this timely book offers the necessary tool with which to develop a broad, creative and inspirational visual arts programme. Presented in two parts, this text covers both theoretical and practical angles:

* Part one investigates contemporary early childhood art education, challenging what is traditionally considered an early years art experience
* Part two puts theory to text by presenting the reader with numerous inventive visual art lessons that imaginatively meet goals for creative development issued by the QCA

The author strikes the perfect balance between discussion of the subject and provision of hands-on material for use in lessons, which makes this book a complete art education resource for all involved in early years art education. Teachers, trainee teachers, or nursery teachers, who wish to implement a more holistic art curriculum in the classroom whilst meeting all the required standards, will find this an essential companion.

In dieser Arbeit wird das Weltbild des Nationalsozialismus, wie es den Kindern und Jugendlichen im Dritten Reich nahegebracht wurde, dargestellt. Anhand einer groesstenteils exemplarischen Lehr- und Schulbuchanalyse sowie durch Interviews mit Zeitzeugen, werden die Elemente dieses Weltbildes herausgearbeitet und in ihrer historischen Entwicklung beschrieben. Auf der Basis der padagogischen Auffassungen von Adolf Hitler, Baldur von Schirach, Ernst Krieck, Alfred Baeumler und der Entwicklung der Jugendorganisationen HJ und BDM entsteht so das Bild einer Padagogik, die nicht allein bildete, sondern auch verfuhrte. Mit dieser Untersuchung wird der Weg zur Entwicklung einer Ideologie dokumentiert, deren Resultat im Grunde genommen unfasslich bleiben wird.

Kinder- und Jugendliteratur liefert kein Abbild der Realitat, sondern spiegelt bestimmte Deutungsmuster und Weltbilder der Autoren uber gesellschaftliche Realitat wider. Diese Arbeit untersucht, welche Vorstellungen von Normalitat und Normativitat die moderne Kinderliteratur transportiert. Dabei werden vor allem die Themenbereiche Geschlechtsrollen, Familie sowie Liebe und Freundschaft in einer quantitativ-qualitativen Analyse untersucht und ausgewertet. Aufgrund der Ergebnisse dieser Studie wird anschliessend ein literaturdidaktisches Modell der Werteerziehung entwickelt und an Beispielen demonstriert.

Leonardo's Science Workshop leads children on an interactive adventure through key science concepts by following the multidisciplinary approach of the Renaissance period polymath Leonardo da Vinci: experimenting, creating projects, and exploring how art intersects with science and nature. Photos of Leonardo's own notebooks, paintings, and drawings provide visual inspiration. More than 500 years ago, Leonardo knew that the fields of science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM) are all connected. The insatiably curious Leonardo examined not just the outer appearance of his art subjects, but the science that explained them. He began his studies as a painter, but his curiosity, diligence, and genius made him also a master sculptor, architect, designer, scientist, engineer, and inventor. The Leonardo's Workshop series shares this spirit of multidisciplinary inquiry with children through accessible, engaging explanations and hands-on learning. This fascinating book harnesses children's innate curiosity to explore some of Leonardo's favorite subjects, including flight, motion, technology design, perspective, and astronomy. After each topic is explained with concepts from physics, chemistry, math, and engineering, kids can experience the principles first-hand with step-by-step STEAM projects. They will explore: The physics of flight by observing birds and experimenting with paper airplane designs The science of motion by building a windup dragonfly Gravitational acceleration with water balloons The movement of electrons by making cereal "dance" Technology design by making paper and fabric using recycled material Scientific perspective by drawing a 3D illusion Insight from other great thinkers-such as Galileo Galilei, James Clerk Maxwell, and Sir Isaac Newton-are woven into the lessons throughout. Introduce vital STEAM skills through visually rich, hands-on learning with Leonardo's Science Workshop.

Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886) was one of the most important British illustrators. He transformed the world of decorated children's books in the Victorian era. In 1877, he was asked by Edmund Evans, the colour printer and talented engraver, to illustrate two children's books. These books were an immediate success and he went on to produce two books every Christmas until he died. Caldecott chose all the stories and rhymes he illustrated and occasionally wrote and added to the stories himself. His delightful style and humour can still be enjoyed by young and old alike. This story, 'An Elegy On The Death Of A Mad Dog', was originally published in 1879. Many of the earliest children's books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pook Press are working to republish these classic works in affordable, high quality, colour editions, using the original text and artwork so these works can delight another generation of children.
