"Karla Cikanova"
Written in completion of a course assignment for Dr. Laurel Lampela in ART ED 500: Seminar/The History of Art Education, Fall Semester, 2003.

Abstract
Karla Cikanova is an art educator from the Czech Republic.  I cam across one of her books and was immediately drawn to the vibrant images of student artwork included within it.  Karla Cikanova's ideas on art and children are of a very organic and natural belief.  She feels that children should be exposed to art in a way in which they can explore the process through their senses and learn to appreciate what nature offers.
