Children's Art Show: An Educational Family Experience
Bakerlis, Julienne
Young Children, v62 n1 p88-91 Jan 2007
In a time of seemingly rampant budget cuts in the arts in school systems throughout the country, a children's art show reaps many rewards. It can strengthen family-school relationships and community ties and stimulate questions and comments about the benefits of art and its significance in the development of young children. In this photo essay of children's artwork, the author describes how the Worcester Area Association for the Education of Young Children (WAAEYC) organized a children's art show to commemorate an esteemed member and child advocate, and reviews the planning; coordination with early childhood students, area schools, child care programs, and family child care providers; contributions from local businesses; and set-up and implementation of this joyful community event shared by teachers, children, families, and other community members.
