Abstract
There is tdoay a greater interesting that never in teh creative phase of education. This fact ought to t mean much to art teachers, the most progressive of whom have for years been working for creative expression.
Now is the time for the art teacher to make the most of her opportunity. Are the children who naturally lvoe to express themselves in paint, pencil, and clay given freddom to do so? Are these children being led to aprreciate and to value their own work, though it be ragged and smeared? The child artist is usually of a sensitiive nature and is repressed in the presence of dominating personalities. how then may art teachers best protect, guide and encourage the children who are ready toc reate, if given an opportunity?
And since the progressive art teacher is more or less scientific she should teach the child how to make constructive criticism of his own work and she should measure his work in terms which he can understand. [Taken from Introduction]
