7. • ITERS-R
• Art encourages the development of motor skills by using there
hands and fingers. (page 227)
• Art allows toddlers to develop sensory perception when touching
and feeling paint. Page (227)
• Art also promotes spacial awareness in toddlers such as three
dimensional manipulation with objects like play dough. (page 228)
• Teachers talk to children to help them learn by telling them what
the are doing, seeing and creating with these materials. (page 228)

8. • Toddlers develop emergent literacy which starts out with using art materials
such as crayons or markers. These materials enable a child to start to create
abstract images such as scribbling and later developing into pictures of objects,
animals and there environment. (page 228)
• Art also helps a child's development to prepare for writing and representation
of words. (page 228)
• Teachers should intervene when children start to get frustrated with certain
materials when they are confused how to use them.
•Toddlers can not participate in group activities because they are not interested
in the finished product just the process of creating it. (page 228)

9. ECERS
• Art allows children to work with shapes, lines and space and also the
combination of colors. (page 199)
• Art must include Drawing utensils, paints, three dimensional materials,
collage materials and tools. (page 200)
• In art, there is individual expression this means that children are able to
use there own materials and express art in there own way. (page 199)
-Example: A teacher tells students to create pumpkins although gives them
a wide variety of materials. Each pumpkin should not look exactly the same.
• No individual expression means that children are not able to create the
subject matter in others words it is selected by the adult. (page 199)
• Art materials must be accessible for at least one hour per day. (page 201)
• Children are also encouraged to draw pictures of family members. (page
205)
• Teachers also want children to create drawings that are related to science
and nature in order to develop understanding in those areas. (page 205)
• Extended art activities also help children to experience more stages by
thinking of what they’ve done and what they need to do next to complete it.
(page 205)

10. •Materials needed for art consists of collage materials, two kinds of paint
colors, and 3D art materials. (Powerpoint 1 Slide 8)
• Some skills that are developed when creating art are (slide 16)
• Children start to gain experience with symbols
• They learn about form, symmetry, balance and design
• As mentioned in the ECER’s and ICER’s they learn about shapes and patterns
• Children learn to observe detail and think more in depth when experiencing
using art materials. (slide 18)
•Teachers must closely supervise children with disabilities. (slide 20)
•Art materials must be safe and non-toxic around toddlers. (slide 20)
