4.0 out of 5 stars
I just wish this book were in color !,

This review is from: Discovering Great Artists (Pb) (Paperback)
As a former public school teacher, and now a homeschool parent, I can honestly say I've seen a great deal of art curriculum materials. This book stands hand and shoulders above the rest in terms of what it attempts to cover and the way it brings the great artistic styles into undestandable terms for children and their educators. My only complaint (and what's kept me from giving this book 5 Stars) is that the black & white photocopies of pictures show so little detail of each artist. You really need to have a good full color guide to the world of art (showing at least one major work from each artist) to be able to use this curriculum effectively. My hope is that the authors will consider this for future printings. If they do so, I think this will be the perfect art curriculum to teach both hands on art and art history.

teacher resource,
This review is from: Discovering Great Artists (Pb) (Paperback)
This book was recommended to me by an art teacher. The cross referencing at the back of the book (Great Art Styles and Great Art Techniques) makes it easy to find a well suited activity for numerous lesson plans. The Chart of Contents at the start of the book breaks it down even further into child level and adult prep time. The instructions are clear and concise. One drawback is the lack of actual artist work (in colour or otherwise) to better illustrate the technique. This however was easily solved by going on the internet and displaying the work on a classroom Smart Board. This is an excellent classroom resource book.

This review is from: Discovering Great Artists (Pb) (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for ways to spark an interest in both art as an activity and art history. I work with kids from ages 2 - 13 and this book has ideas that will work for most of that range. A variety of materials are suggested and the historical information helps bring perspective to the artists work, even for young minds. I highly recommend this for the home or school. I even bought one for my daughter's middle school art teacher for use at the school.
