Creating Rooms of Wonder: Valuing and Displaying Children's Work to Enhance the Learning Process

by Carol Seefeldt (Author), Carol Seefeldt (Author), Joan Waites (Illustrator)

Synopsis

What children see around them affects what and how they learn. Displaying children's artwork with thoughtfulness and care benefits children, teachers, and families. Ceilings, floors, tabletops, windows, doors--it's all useful space to display the beautiful works of children, enhance the learning process, and communicate to parents what their children are experiencing in school. Learn how to create rooms of wonder using the basics: color, line, texture, composition, focal points, and rhythm. Then find new ideas for using framing and mounting, boxes, boards, and other materials to value and display children's work. Learn from the theories of Reggio Emilia and put your children's art to work!
