Digital Technologies in Early Childhood Art explores how the use of digital tools transforms the art-making process for young children. Dr Mona Sakr examines how traditional creative activities like drawing and collage evolve when combined with digital technologies, affecting children’s experiences of exploration, identity, and social interaction.

Through art, children make sense of their experiences and the world around them. Drawing, painting, collage, and modelling are open-ended and playful processes through which children engage in physical exploration, aesthetic decision-making, identity construction, and social understanding.

As digital technologies become increasingly prevalent in the lives of young children, there is a pressing need to understand how these technologies shape important experiences in early childhood, including early childhood art.

Digital Technologies in Early Childhood Art by Dr Mona Sakr highlights the necessity to consider how particular dimensions of the art-making process are changed by the use of digital technologies. The book explores what can be done by parents, practitioners, and designers to enable children to adopt playful and creative practices in their interactions with digital technologies.

Incorporating different theoretical perspectives, including social semiotics and posthumanism, and drawing on various research studies, Digital Technologies in Early Childhood Art illustrates how children engage with different facets of art-making with digital technologies, including: remix and mash-up; distributed ownership; imagined audiences; and changed sensory and social interactions.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Endorsed by experts including Professor Paul Duncum and Dr Heather Malin, the book offers detailed case studies and a strong theoretical foundation. Reviews praise its insightful analysis of children’s sensory and social engagement with digital media and its value for practitioners seeking to understand the learning behind young children’s digital art making. The International Journal of Education through Art calls it an interesting read.
