Description
PERFORMANCE ART IN PRESCHOOL EDUCATION: "The course of water" In the present study, we would like to present a cultural-environmental course of program that lasted for eight months and took place at a nursery school in the centre of Athens. The primary aim of the course of program was to address pre-schoolers aged 4-6 in order for them to experiment, discover and experience the value of and "course of water" (bearing in mind "the future of water) through all the sciences proposed by the kindergarten curriculum. By means of theatrical and visual art techniques, the children systematically observed water and its properties - re-enacted through theatrical play and dramatization of the water cycle - it captured in different visual art techniques, “the course of water” and looked for answers to problems. As I have already mentioned, by dint of a wide array of techniques drawn from educational Drama. In tandem with this, they composed and staged a visual-theatrical performance that they presented to their parents at the end of the school year.
