The Creative Arts by Linda Carol Edwards is an essential guide for future teachers, focusing on fostering creativity in the classroom. Rather than emphasising the final product, the book encourages a process-oriented approach, teaching educators to tap into their own creative potential. By engaging with music, movement, art, creative dramatics, and literature, future teachers learn to guide children in creative participation. The book also highlights the role of multicultural arts in promoting creative expression and awareness, and it integrates national standards for visual and performing arts. With insights into the eight intelligences, this book offers a comprehensive framework for developing creative educators.
