Description:
Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula.


Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students Franz Ci ek, and Austrian-American emigres Emmy Zweybr ck and Viktor Luwenfeld this book reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of 'learning by doing' in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a vital educational medium, we see how these teachings have been popularized as a means of nurturing creativity in childhood.


Across three chapter length case studies, interspersed with three 'mini chapters' on the reception of each artist-educator's radical teachings in the American education system, Child Creativity and the Visual Arts provides new interpretations into the impact of these three luminaries' differing philosophies on a broader program of socio-political activism in the USA. Drawing on previously untapped archival and primary source materials, it blends deep material culture analysis with narrative elements to present a compelling account of the unrecognized influence of emigre art pedagogy on progressive, international art education. In doing so, it provides fresh transregional and thematic perspectives on early-1900s Vienna as a hotbed of creative and cultural experimentation and 'mecca' of progressive art educati

Works great, easy assembly and no issues!
Using the weedeater for edging was too hard, so I purchased this. It works great! It was easy to assemble and easy to use. My lines are perfect, but the size, durability, and power of this gem get the job done, and it's lightweight enough that I can easily maneuver it around the yard. I chose a corded one so I don't have to deal with battery life or charging.

Does the job without many frills.
Color: Sand, Size: Queen
Looks like it would be warm and cozy. Looks good on the bed and is a decent cover. I can't speak to durability and so forth, was recently purchased and used. The price was about what I paid for my own micro mink sherpa comforter and the ones I own are thick and fluffy and super warm. This isn't the same quality, had I paid more attention, I'd have bought one like mine in the tan. Seems fair though so let's see.

Red is bright red
Color: Red, Size: King
The quality of this is wonderful. It did have a funny smell, which I didn't care for. Four stars for the red one, as the red is brighter than in the picture. It reminded me of a Santa Claus suit. I gave it away. My friend loves it.
