Description:
Tracing the dissemination of Secessionist ideas of child creativity from their origination in early-20th century Vienna through to their eventual commodification in postwar America this book highlights the central role that visual art has played in child education and in nurturing creativity in elementary and preschool curricula.


Taking the reader through the ideas of three artistic visionaries and their students Franz Ci ek, and Austrian-American emigres Emmy Zweybr ck and Viktor Luwenfeld this book reveals how these ideas developed in postwar America through a focus on child-centered methods of 'learning by doing' in artistic practice. By centring the visual arts as a vital educational medium, we see how these teachings have been popularized as a means of nurturing creativity in childhood.


Across three chapter length case studies, interspersed with three 'mini chapters' on the reception of each artist-educator's radical teachings in the American education system, Child Creativity and the Visual Arts provides new interpretations into the impact of these three luminaries' differing philosophies on a broader program of socio-political activism in the USA. Drawing on previously untapped archival and primary source materials, it blends deep material culture analysis with narrative elements to present a compelling account of the unrecognized influence of emigre art pedagogy on progressive, international art education. In doing so, it provides fresh transregional and thematic perspectives on early-1900s Vienna as a hotbed of creative and cultural experimentation and 'mecca' of progressive art educati

Extra Privacy and Aesthetics for what you need
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
I've had it for 3 months now and it's still very sturdy. It's so pretty for the aesthetic of my room. A perfect divider from my bed to my window so i get extra privacy at night. I have a small room so it almost goes across it if i fan it out. Stands up really well and i can maneuver the shape of it too if i want to split more of the room or push it back to expand the room. Worth the money

Very nice and attractive

It’s very pretty and super functional. The pics I took are in the morning when it is dark outside but I have a light on in my workout space. It’s taken from both sides and it really provides nice privacy. We are very happy with it.

Great quality and solved my space problem
Color: Natural - Rectangle, Size: 6-panel
I bought this room divider to separate my bedroom and create a private area for my clothing racks. It completely exceeded my expectations. The quality is excellent, the material feels sturdy, and it arrived in perfect condition. The delivery was also very fast, which was a big plus. What I loved the most is how well it works as an actual divider. I opened it almost all the way, leaving just a small fold, and it sits exactly the way I wanted. For extra stability, I added double sided tape on the floor, and that kept everything perfectly in place. Overall, it did exactly what I needed. It looks beautiful, it is functional, and it helped a lot with organizing my space. I definitely recommend it.
