In Reggio Emilia, art is not merely a subject that is taught in isolation. Rather, it permeates every aspect of the educational experience, fostering children's imagination, curiosity, and problem-solving abilities.

Children in Reggio Emilia schools engage in a wide range of artistic activities, from painting and drawing to sculpting and collage. They are encouraged to experiment freely with different materials and techniques, and to express themselves without judgment.

The environment in Reggio Emilia schools is also designed to be highly conducive to creativity. Classrooms are filled with natural light and open spaces, and there is a wealth of materials and resources available for children to explore.

Teachers in Reggio Emilia play a vital role in nurturing children's creativity. They observe children closely, and provide them with guidance and support as they develop their own unique artistic visions.

The approach to art and creativity in Reggio Emilia has gained international recognition and acclaim. Today, schools around the world are incorporating Reggio Emilia principles into their own educational programs.

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of the transformative power of art and creativity in early childhood education, then this book is essential reading.

Art And Creativity In Reggio Emilia provides a comprehensive overview of the Reggio Emilia approach, and includes inspiring examples of children's artwork and projects.

This book is an invaluable resource for educators, parents, and anyone who is interested in the power of art and creativity to transform children's lives.
