• Unit 2 Synopsis and Checklist

Unit 2 Topic 1 Course Description:
1 Clock Hour
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

Dancing, singing, drawing, painting, acting, and sculpting are all ways in which children learn. It’s in their nature to be drawn toward the arts. Why not use that predisposition for creativity to enhance all areas of learning? This topic examines ways to incorporate art into different subjects and how to nurture imagination in your students.   

Learning Outcomes:

• Discuss how to give children meaningful praise when it comes to children’s artwork
• Explore the myths surrounding art education
• Explain how integrating art into other subjects benefits children
• Analyze several lesson plans on how they promote creativity    

**  A special thank you to Erika Booth, BA Ed for developing the curriculum for this topic. **
