Product Description
Trying to figure out the right time, the right words, the right program and the right environment to nurture a child's development while juggling work, home and carpools is daunting. Teaching Art to Children, The Marvegos Way provides parents and art educators with a roadmap to follow in assisting children to be self-confident, self-directed and independent art-makers and to be and express who they are in their generation. This book shows the way through a series of anecdotes, pictures of students at work and colored photographs of artwork to illustrate the results of this life-altering art program. The goal of The Marvegos is to increase each child's self-confidence as they discover and develop their own art-making style. Creativity is inspired. It cannot be taught. The Marvegos believes that entrusting children with making creative choices builds their confidence and engages their minds in ways other forms of learning do not. The Marvegos uses art-making to guide children to build awareness of things outside of themselves and provides a program of art-making that involves solving problems, making decisions, using resources, handling disappointments, taking risks, enjoying success and adapting to change.

  Excellent book on teaching art to young children! ( anmari )
My daughter has been a student in Marvegos Art School for 6 years now and I was curious to read the book. Art now makes so much more sense to me! I would go back and read it again soon.
