The Art of Hand-built Pottery: One Child's Creativity Osanna Kazezian - Rosa Ma

The Art of Hand-Built Pottery: Non-fiction Picture Book for Children. The satisfying outcome that will be achieved through these most simple steps and efforts makes clay a perfect and natural medium for children to be creative and also relaxed in the process of making the piece of art. The Art of Hand-Built Pottery becomes a relaxing therapeutic process. The philosopher Schopenhauer once wrote ?Through art that human beings find release...? The book, The Art of Hand-Built Pottery, is an instructionally designed unit, designed to help young children (Pre-Schoolers, and challenged children) progress in stages towards building their own pieces of art. This curriculum is grounded in the following rational philosophical approaches: Constructivism, Existentialism and Humanism. These philosophies of learning allow space for diverse learning opportunities, providing children the opportunity to organize their own experiences in creating their own pieces of art. This instructionally based unit is the result of the integration of complex, practical, learning processes and theory. In the unit, experience coincides with theory and philosophy. I hope you will also enjoy this process. Osanna Kazezian Rosa
