Advocates for the arts have contributed significantly to the philosophy and practice of early and elementary education throughout its history. Yet the nature, value, and purpose of arts experiences in the lives of children seem to remain puzzling and problematic to those most directly involved in teaching the young. Conversations between scholars and teacher educators in the arts and in education occur all too infrequently. Seventeen authors, whose work represents the best of contemporary research and theory on a constellation of issues concerning the role of the arts in children's lives and learning, address critical issues of development, context, and curriculum from perspectives informed by work with children in formal and informal settings. This anthology strives to reinvigorate dialogue on the role and significance of the arts in the education of children drawing on various cultural and institutional context and traditional and contemporary practices from different parts of the world.

Reflecting contemporary theory and research in early art education, this volume offers a comprehensive introduction to new ways of thinking about the place of art, play, and aesthetics in the lives and education of young children. Enlivened by narratives and illustrations, 16 authors offer perspectives on the lived experience of being a child and discovering the excitement of making meaning and form in the process of art, play, and aesthetic inquiry.   “Advocates of the arts and play in early childhood have long challenged the narrative of the universal child and contested binaries such as adult/child, play/learning, and mind/body. Communities of Practice: Art, Play, and Aesthetics in Early Childhood is pivotal because it elegantly portrays subtle yet critical shifts in thinking. This collection of perspectives from around the globe poses new questions and offers up fresh perspectives. Each chapter explicates theoretical inspirations and includes stories and images to bring ideas to life. This book is an essential read because it not only challenges conventional thinking, but also sheds light on exciting new pathways.” Jolyn Blank, University of South Florida, USA.
