Reaching the Retarded Through Art.
Baumgartner, Bernice B.; Shultz, Joyce B.
Included in the manual on art are suggestions concerning growth through a good classroom climate, orderly arrangements, displays, and a good visual experience; a view of development through art, concept differentiation, motor and sensory skills, self fulfillment and thought processes, and art as therapy; and the art program itself. The program consists of drawing and painting; playing with blocks; tearing, cutting, folding, and pasting; printing; modeling; using fabric; creating three dimensional objects with cardboard, wood, and scrap materials; and learning to think, write, use the body, and learn number concepts. Also provided are numerous examples of art work and a program illustrating the materials used, the learning process involved, possible related experiences, and utilizing art techniques throughout the school curriculum.
