This title offers arty activities for kids, shown step by step. It features 16 great ideas for creating wonderful paint projects using everyday materials. It introduces all the basic painting techniques, including finger painting, flick painting, marbling, using stencils, blottography, block printing, sponging, and much more. You can make star and moon gift wrapping, pretty Christmas crackers, a caterpillar from painted stones, vegetable-print T-shirts, and a spotty dog-bone picture frame. It comes with clear step-by-step photographs and fun finished pictures for every project. Children love to play and experiment with paints of all types. Petra Boase uses this fascination to lead youngsters through a teaching course that will show them all the basic skills they need. Painting is fun, but it does not necessarily mean standing at an easel creating a picture of what you can see - though you can do that too if you want! The projects include a marbled pencil pot, finger-painted flowers, block-printed stationery and a family of wooden spoon puppets - making this the perfect starter book for ages 3-7.

In der neueren fremdsprachlichen Reflexion wird verstarkt die Rolle literarischer Texte betont. Heutzutage erscheint ihr Einsatz im Fremdsprachenunterricht als voellig legitim. Die theoretischen Grundlagen dieser Methodik bedurfen indessen einer Erganzung. In dieser Studie werden Lese- und Rezeptionsprozesse untersucht, die durch fremdsprachliche literarische Texte ausgeloest werden. Dafur werden existierende Beschreibungsansatze herangezogen und vor dem Hintergrund der Relevanztheorie gepruft. UEberdies wird die Rolle des Didaktikers analysiert. Seine Eingriffe bei der Gestaltung des Leseprozesses und der Textarbeit werden als Lesesteuerungsstrategien thematisiert. Die Untersuchung tragt einen interdisziplinaren Charakter: sie integriert die Erkenntnisse der Literaturdidaktik, der Fremdsprachendidaktik, der Leseforschung, der Textverarbeitungsforschung, der Pragmatik und der Literaturtheorie.

Die Reprasentation von Wissen und Wissensgenerierung werden in den Aufsatzen des Bandes am Beispiel verschiedenster Medien, Textsorten und Gegenstande untersucht. Ein besonderes Merkmal ist hierbei ausschlaggebend: Immer geht es um Probleme zwischen Abbild und Abgebildetem, Modell und Modelliertem, Simulation und Simuliertem. Wie koennen Prasentationen etwas anderes reprasentieren? Ceci n'est pas une pipe nannte Rene Magritte sein beruhmtes Bild, das eine Pfeife zeigt. Naturlich ist es keine Pfeife, denn man kann sie nicht stopfen und auch nicht rauchen. Und wenn man Feuer dran hielte, wurde die Leinwand verbrennen. Genau genommen ist es eine zweidimensionale Abbildung eines Gegenstandes, die auf der Netzhaut unseres Auges entsteht, die dem Bild sehr ahnlich ist, das auch eine reale Pfeife erzeugen wurde. Was ware, wenn sich das Abbild der Pfeife auch noch drehen liesse und man sie von allen Seiten betrachten koennte? Dann wurde der Pfeifen-Charakter noch groesser - noch mehr, wenn auch Tast-, Geschmacks- und Geruchssinn mit entsprechenden Informationen versorgt wurden. Und wenn schliesslich auch noch die Gerausche des Pfeiferauchens zu hoeren waren, wurde die Illusion immer uberzeugender und irgendwann von einer echten Pfeife nicht mehr zu unterscheiden: das perfekte Medium. Menschen, die mit Technik-Dokumentation betraut sind, sollen bei den auftretenden Problemen ihrer Vermittlungsstrategien kreativ werden. Daher richtet sich dieser Band nicht nur an Kunsthistoriker und Geschichtsinteressierte, sondern an alle, die sich mit den Widrigkeiten der Darstellungen von Technik auseinandersetzen.

Children young and old will delight in the artistic splendor of this illustrated nonfiction tale from the author of "Henri's Scissors," which "Booklist "called an "exemplary picture-book biography."
Joseph Cornell loved to draw and paint and collect things. With these drawings and paintings and collected treasures, he made marvelous shadowboxes--wonderlands covered in glass. And who did he most like to share them with? Children, of course. For they noticed all the details and took in all the magic Mr. Cornell had created.

You don't have to be an eight-year-old boy to appreciate the plight of a robot caught in the rain - if, that is, the story is told in pop-up images by the brilliant Philippe UG. In his latest book, one of the world's most imaginative paper artists delivers a delightful glimpse into the inner workings, movement and emotion of a hapless robot. Once he gets wet, he goes to the doctor and voila! His creaky gears are fixed and the robot returns to his happy, finely tuned self. As readers turn the page, each ingeniously constructed spread explodes with brilliant hues, striking contours, and vivid personality. Quirky and inspiring, this book shows why pop-up art appeals to adults and children alike.

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.
