With the aim to help teachers design and deliver instruction around
world films featuring child protagonists, Cultivating Creativity
through World Films guides readers to understand the importance of
fostering creativity in the lives of youth. It is expected that by
teaching students about world films through the eyes of characters
that resemble them, they will gain insight into cultures that might
be otherwise unknown to them and learn to analyze what they see.
Teachers can use these films to examine and reflect on differences
and commonalities rooted in culture, social class, gender,
language, religion, etc., through guided questions for class
discussion. The framework of this book is conceived to help
teachers develop students' ability to evaluate, analyze, synthesize
and interpret. The proposed activities seek to incite reflection
and creativity in students, and can be used as a model for teachers
in designing future lessons on other films.
This book problematizes the role of education in an increasingly
mediatized world through the lenses of creativity, new media, and
consumerism. At the core of the issue, the author argues,
creativity in art education is being co-opted to serve the purposes
of current economic trends towards designer capitalism. Using an
East meets West approach, jagodzinski draws on Deleuze and
Guattarian philosophy to explore visual and popular culture in
Korean society, addressing the tensions that exist between designer
education and art that explores the human condition. In doing so,
he challenges art educators to envision a new paradigm for
education which questions established media ontologies and
incorporates new ways to confront the crisis of the Anthropocene.
Giving students opportunities to read like mathematicians as they
explore content has the potential to move their thinking and
understandings in monumental ways. Each chapter presented in this
volume provides readers with approaches and activities for pairing
a young adult novel with specific mathematics concepts. Chapters
include several instructional activities for before, during, and
after reading as well as extension activities that move beyond the
text as students continue to develop mathematical literacy.
A clever, quirky read-aloud biography of a leading modern artist,
for kids Artist Yves Klein always thought about how he could
surprise his audience. One day, he decided that he would only paint
in one color - blue. He painted canvases, globes, branches, gallery
floors, and even covered people in blue paint. Klein's story is
told here with wit and eccentricity, perfectly paired with
black-line illustrations and blue splashes galore. Fausto Gilberti
brings movement, life, and whimsy to the true life story of one of
the most important modern French artists of our time. Ages 4-7
The link between creativity and art education is often taken for
granted: This book makes explicit connections between theories of
creativity and theories of art teaching/learning Aims to boost the
knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm of pupils and their teachers
Ready-to-use ideas for creative lessons from expert authors who are
still firmly connected to the classroom End of chapter further
reading to support study and useful resources listed with
information on where to find such resources Illustrations,
children's work, case studies to really help enthuse teachers
Encourages and provides ideas for cross-curricular teaching
Examines the theory, practice and influence of Reggio Emilia on
primary art education
By applying philosophical and historical perspectives to drawing
instruction, this volume demonstrates how diverse teaching methods
contribute to cognitive and holistic development applicable within
and beyond the visual arts. Offering a new perspective on the art
and science of drawing, this text reveals the often-unrecognized
benefits that drawing can have on the human mind, and thus argues
for the importance of drawing instruction despite, and even due to
contemporary digitalization. Given the predominance of visual
information and digital media, visual thinking in and through
drawing may be an essential skill for the future. As such, the book
counters recent declines in drawing instruction to propose five
Paradigms for teaching drawing - as design, as seeing, as
experience and experiment, as expression, and as a visual language
- with exemplary curricula for pre-K12 art and general education,
pre-professional programs across the visual arts, and continuing
education. With the aid of instructional examples, this volume
dispels the misconception of drawing as a talent reserved for the
artistically gifted and posits it as a teachable skill that can be
learned by all. This text will be of primary interest to
researchers, scholars, and doctoral students with interests in
drawing theory and practice, cognition in the arts, positive
psychology, creativity theory, as well as the philosophy and
history of arts education. Aligning with contemporary trends such
as Design Thinking, STEAM, and Graphicacy, the text will also have
appeal to visual arts educators at all levels, and other educators
involved in arts integration.

their ethical and political implications. A study of the vocabulary
that comprises and shapes a broad understanding of health and the
practices of healthcare, Keywords for Health Humanities guides

engaging in creative analytical thinking about health and
healthcare in an increasingly complex world—one in which
seemingly straightforward beliefs and decisions about individual
and communal health represent increasingly contested terrain.
