Description

Typical art resources for teachers offer discrete art activities, but these don’t carry children or teachers into the practice of the use of the languages of art. This resource offers guidance for teachers to make space, time, and intentional processes for children’s exploration and learning to make use of art for asking questions, offering insights, exploring hypotheses, and examining experiences from unfamiliar perspectives.

Inspired by an option to teaching and learning born in Reggio Emilia, Italy, The Language of Art, Second Edition, includes:

  • A new art exploration for teachers to gain experience before implementing the practice with children
  • Advice on putting in place a studio space for art and inquiry
  • Suggestions on documenting children’s developing fluency with art media and its use in inquiry
  • Inspiring photographs and ideas to show you how inquiry-based practices can work in any early childhood setting

Ann Pelo is a teacher educator, program consultant, and writer whose number one work makes a speciality of reflective pedagogical practice, social justice and ecological teaching and learning and the art of mentoring. Currently, Pelo consults early childhood educators and administrators in North The us, Australia, and New Zealand on inquiry-based teaching and learning, pedagogical leadership, and the important place of ecological identity in children’s—and adults’—lives. She is the writer of several books including the first edition of The Language of Art and co-writer of Rethinking Early Childhood Education.
