In the early 1950's the region of Reggio Emilia in Italy pioneered an approach to the education of young children which has had a huge influence on thinking and practice worldwide. Reggio methods are based on a model of child centred activities where learning is initiated by the child and, with adult help and guidance, travels in directions chosen by the child. There is a strong emphasis on practical and group work. A key element of the Reggio approach is the 'atelier', or workshop, which is a place which children can access to carry out their projects. This delightful and lavishly illustrated book is based on a project in schools and nurseries, supported by the North Lincolnshire Local Authority, centred on the provision of practical resources. It features children's creative responses to natural and artificial objects and will prove a great inspiration for those who want to build upon the creative work they already do or to begin working in the impressive Reggio style. Beautiful photographs and simple statements show children using a range of materials, techniques and environments to produce their own creations.The Atelier is a collection of stimulating resources designed to fire the imagination. A3 size and beautifully produced on heavy art paper in full colour throughout, this wonderful book will thrill and inspire anyone connected with the education of children between three and six.
