Recenzje

The book by Prof. Ellen Winner is one of the most passionate, complete and engaging on art education, and to her goes my gratitude. The experience of the infant-toddler centres and preschools in Reggio Emilia and the research about the role of art and expressive languages in learning processes they carried out find here a full and courageous interpretation.
