Visual art and Expressive art learnings

有些朋友会说：绘本那么‘少字’ 不值得买。而且又贵～
我会告诉他们，你们少买几件新衣，吃少好料就行了呀 >"<
也顺便‘传教’：绘本是长远的投资。绘本是孩子的财产。绘本往往幽默却最能潜移默化地将知识与正向概念内化到孩子心中！
不但如此，绘本除了教导文字还可以学习艺术，数学概念，体能、情绪、社交、道德、认知及语言等（儿童各方面的发展）

其实我们应该强调的是全儿童发展。上述五项发展是受到同等重视的。
五项发展之间亦存在相互影响以及互相辅助的作用，它们之间的关系应受到关注。

在此分享几个通过绘本进行其他学习领域的绘本学习课程 ^^

红泥巴书评
内容简介：
喜欢舞蹈的女儿不知道，她的爸爸一直都在看着她，从她小时候扮演一个玉米，到她成为台上美丽优秀的芭蕾舞者，到她恋爱出嫁，有了自己的家。爸爸一直微笑着看着她。直到爸爸生命最后一刻，舞蹈着的女儿仍然不知道，爸爸总是微笑地看着她。
这个故事的作者灵感来源于他自己的女儿，然而图画中的女孩确实却有其人的。绘者受画中女孩子的父亲所托为他画了女儿的画像，而这个女孩和母亲丧生于一起车祸。本书内外所蕴藏的故事与情感让每一位度过这本书的读者动容。作者的文字细腻深沉，绘者的图画更是显示出非凡的功力，写实的描画、凝重的色彩、潇洒的笔法，将这个动人的故事演绎的一如交响乐般宽广宏大。

There are so many children’s books with caterpillars in them that they are very familiar to most young kids. One of our favorite picture book is < The Very Hungry Caterpillar > by Eric Carl

1. Gather your materials. You will need 2 pieces of different color construction paper, color papers paint, a marker, glue, a pipe cleaner, and scissors.

2. Draw a big C with your marker on one piece of construction paper.

3. Have your child cut the slices

4. Add as many glue lines as you have paper slices.

5. Draw the eyes and mouth. Let dry.

7. Add the pipe cleaner by poking two small holes and threading it through.

感恩孩子给我点子

昨晚我又说了绘本故事给孩子听（看），用了同样的书《小黑鱼》，只是用在不同的人而已。（哈哈，这绘本的魅力可真大！百看不厌哦~）
学习对象是大女儿妍惠和哥哥冠胜。

我用了一样的媒介、器材、技巧...
不过在绘画制做当儿， 冠胜说：“妈咪，我要把红色涂在旁边就好了，里面的不要涂哦！”
我当时还不清楚他说些什么，直到他示范一次给我看后，我才恍然大悟！你看下图就明白了 >_< 哈哈~
p/s:
我们做大人的常常都会忽略掉孩子一颗 “细腻的心” :P
呵呵，这回我可要好好检讨了 *.*
下星期我会把这本名作带进幼儿园的〈绘本分享〉希望小朋友们会喜欢它~
