'There's an elephant* in the early childhood visual arts room'

une:1959.11/52973

I believe there is a theoretical crisis in the visual arts for young children. In the absence of a more contemporary theoretical framework, educators are hanging on to practices that are outdated and incompatible with current theories, concepts and practices. There is still a belief that artistic talent is an innate gift and that artistic development should unfold naturally with no interference.
