BKLYN Early Childhood Educator Series: Hands-On Art for Young Children
Hands-On Art for Young Children (CTLE Credits: 3)
Early Learning Through Artful Playing, Strategies for Child-lead Art explorations.
A fun, hands-on session where participants work with a variety of basic art materials, appropriate for children ages 1-7. Based on the notion that children best learn by exploring basic materials with clear parameters and complete freedom, allowing them to follow playful impulses and spontaneously express themselves.

- Participants will understand the qualities of various art and play materials
