Nancy Beal has taught art to children for twenty-five years at the Village Community School in New York City in addition to working on her own paintings. She lives with her family in Manhattan.
""The Art of Teaching Art to Children is exactly" right. Nancy Beal
unfolds the magic, the practical, and a clear sense of children as
she describes materials, motivations, and conservations in her
Village Community School art room. This honest and thoughtful book
should become a classic for all parents and teachers who cherish
art in the lives of children." --Joy L. Moser, Teachers College,
Columbia University
"Beal shows what children can do when they have the support of a
caring adult--an adult who respects children's ideas and honors
their creativity. Anyone who works with children, anyone who lives
with children, should read this lovely and thoughtful book."
--Peggy Kaye, author of "Games for Writing
"Here is a book that will carry children from experimental
beginnings as artists to full-fledged, deep expressive competency
in art. Beal's knowledge of developmental growth is matched by her
inspired motivational methods for teaching skills. Above all, she
never loses sight of each child's personal view." --Naomi F. Pile,
author of "Art Experiences for Young Children
