What are the theories of artistic development of children, and how do these build on or differ from each other? How have these theories changed over time? What is the relationship between child development and cultural context? We will examine the role of the senses, emotions, and cognition in shaping artistic development and of the layered integrations these form over time. Qualitative and arts-based research, presentations, discussions and written reflections will provide the various forms through which demonstrate one's understanding of the artistic development of children and youth. Effective Fall 2019, this course fulfills a single unit in the following BU Hub area: Research and Information Literacy.
