Summary

Using the premise that art can be taught and creativity fostered with little or no financial investment, this book contains more than 150 examples of children's drawings, collages, paintings, prints, masks, puppets, and clay works. Because it was developed at a grassroots level, this resource is the result of a wider community project founded on the belief that art is vitally important in educating the whole child, as it helps to create well-balanced children by developing creative thinking, self-confidence, and social awareness. Though focusing on Africa, the principles contained within are universal.
