The largest collection of children’s drawings made in response to a single method of instruction. The Lowenfeldian approach of stimulating pre-visualization prior to drawing through the use of guiding questions was used to help children in four countries identify personal memories and experiences relating to 10 themes. Contextual information sheds light on how the drawing study was conducted in four different cultural contexts. Five experts responded to this collection of approximately 650 drawings. While each author views the work through a distinct lens, collectively they explore issues of drawing development, cultural context, stories children tell, the influence of popular and visual culture, and drawing methodology.
This book promises to delight and inform those interested in children’s drawings, especially elementary classroom teachers, elementary art educators, students preparing to teach, researchers, and teachers interested in initiating international exchanges of student artwork.

This inspiring book leads the way to a new kind of advocacy—one that stops justifying the arts as useful to learning other subjects and argues instead for the powerful lessons that the arts, like no other subjects, teach our children. Davis, a leading voice in the field of arts education, offers a set of principles and tools that will be invaluable to advocates already working hard to make the case and secure a strong place for the arts in education. She also reaches out to those who care deeply about education but have yet to consider what the arts uniquely provide. This book is for anyone willing to brave a new terrain in which the arts are finally embraced without apology!
Davis is a cognitive developmental psychologist and founder of the Arts in Education Program at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

From Periphery to Center: Art Museum Education in the 21st Century examines museum education from the perspective of 33 authors from the field, resulting in a collective vision elevating the function of education within museums. A variety of perspectives offered throughout this comprehensive new collection of essays push further thinking and encourage robust debate. Another dimension comes from the “Many Voices Project”— art museum educators and others with an interest in the field who offered feedback on topics explored throughout the essays. These comments add alternate ideas and expand the discussions.
The contents delve into theory, but also inform on exemplary models of practice. Museum education has developed much over the past 20 years, yet there remains an opportunity to advance its position within art museums with effective practice and the creation of successful programs. From Periphery to Center helps to launch this forward thinking. An invaluable resource for museum educators, and a practical textbook for professors and students in museum education programs.

Kathy Danko-McGhee and Ruslan Slutsky present a compelling look at the link between children's artwork and literacy development in this easy-to-read, indispensable primer for parents and educators alike. By providing a range of art experiences and alternative ways to teach children critical thinking and visual perception skills, Danko-McGhee and Slutsky paint a vivid picture of the role that the visual arts play in early childhood development. The two examine the need for new thinking and a departure from traditional literacy exercises: "It is clear that a pedagogical shift must take place in our homes and schools if we are to meet the literacy needs of today's young learners. This requires thinking 'out of the box' and coming up with new ways to deal with an old problem." The Impact of Early Art Experiences on Literacy Development lays the foundation for rethinking the way that we engage young children in early literacy learning.
"Kathy Danko-McGhee and Ruslan Slutsky have opened up the definition of literacy, analyzing the many components of what literacy means at each of the recognized developmental stages for children aged 0 to third grade. The Impact of Early Art Experiences on Literacy Development shows, through vivid examples, how language arts skills and visual arts skills are intimately linked."
