Unique in its creativity and depth of understanding, The Colors of Learning will change the way that teachers
think about and react to children's artwork. Promoting the integration of visual art into all early childhood curriculum
areas, this volume will help early childhood professionals to present in-depth art experiences to children so that
they become engrossed in expressing their ideas and newly learned concepts through art media. This user-friendly
volume features actual classroom dialogue throughout the text and many illustrations of children's art, including
some in full color.
