STEM/STEAM: Arts and Creative Learning for the Young Child

Catalog description

This course reviews developmental theory and research of art education and the development of creativity in the early childhood years. Early childhood educators will investigate the interrelationship of math, science, literature, and social studies in cooperation with STEAM education, in order to explore an organized, sequential approach to creating developmentally appropriate curriculum for young children that embraces creativity and self-expression through the arts. Concepts of God as the creator and master designer will be presented as students construct knowledge through a dynamic, interactive process that facilitates their development of working theories relating to creativity and STEAM education.
