Facilitated by: Mary Hewitt, MPEd (ECE), RECE, BEd, BA (Psychology)Young children are meaningful ‘initiators’ and equal partners when it comes to contribution and communication in the classroom. And, the ways they contribute and communicate come in many different forms.
In this session, we explore How Does Learning Happen?’s EXPRESSION Foundation from the perspective of art and creativity. We will learn what it means for children to be a ‘maker’, a ‘maker-artist’, and an ‘artist’—as well as the benefits of each of these forms of creative Expression. We will also learn how to move, engage, and nurture children’s creative voices by leaving things like judgement and fear of the unknown/novel ‘at the door’. Finally, we will immerse ourselves in a hands-on creative endeavour, allowing educators to tap into and feel their creative voices emerge—offering a mirror to the ways they can show up in the classroom as ‘creative agents’ for children.
