My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I loved this book. It really helped me gain a perspective on preschool art. It's ok if there is no real expected end result, for the kids the most important part of art is the process of creating it using different mediums. I liked that. And even though we'll probably still do some projects with a "finished product" in mind, I really like the idea of letting the kids create art for creation's sake. In fact, it's kind of funny, but while reading this book the light bulb came on in my head about artists like Andrew Pollock and I suddenly understood, "It's the process not the product!" and why none of my art teachers could have ever mentioned that, I have no idea. :) But I'm probably going to have to buy this book and a few of the others in her series.
Oh ya, and I should probably mention that the book is chuck full of ideas for how to let your preschooler create art. Check it out.
