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.
In this inspiring nonfiction picture book, Jeanette Winter has painted a moving portrait of a New York artist who always felt his work was best understood by children.

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.

As kids follow along with the clear illustrations, they’ll learn to develop their drawings from basic shapes to finished masterpieces. And fun facts about the featured breeds/ vehicles add extra entertainment value.

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.

Born in 1452 to a peasant woman and a country gentleman, Leonardo da Vinci was one of the most amazing people who ever lived. He grew up to be a great painter, sculptor, architect, scientist, and inventor.

As a boy, Leonardo was apprenticed to a famous artist. But he quickly became more skillful than his teacher, and his passionate interests went far beyond art. Fascinated with the human body, he carried out his own experiments in secret. He filled thousands of pages with plans for incredible inventions including a submarine, an air-cooling system, "glasses to see the moon large," and even a flying machine!

Six pre-cut stencils (iris, rose, daisy, lily, tulip and daffodil) help youngsters develop motor skills while introducing them to six floral beauties.

This volume continues the tradition of Chronicle's other art books for the very young by featuring Matisse's cutouts (a style he worked in only in his last few years) and a simple story about dancing.

A collection of illustrations, concrete poetry, and photographs that shows how young children s constructions, created as they play, are reflected in notable works of architecture from around the world."

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.
