Great for Supply Teachers,
This review is from: How to Teach Art to Children (Paperback)
I love this book because I'm not artistic but as a supply teacher, I'm often called on to teach art. Sometimes there's a lesson plan to follow and sometimes there's not. This book is fabulous for those times. It's straightforward and has easy to follow instructions. Lots of ideas!!!

Okay for the basics,
By Ceinwen Rainey "green kiwi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Teach Art to Children (Paperback)
I think this book is alright if you want some quick and easy art activities or if you need an introductory worksheet when teaching a certain art element. I am a specialist Art teacher and I very occassionally refer to the book for 'early finisher' activities. But, as a book that claims 'how to teach art to children' it is severely lacking and I did not find any of the 96 projects inspirational. All of the illustrations appear to be photos of adult work (made to look like childrens' work). If you are looking for a book with depth, expert advice and beautiful photos of actual student work - I would thoroughly recommend the book 'Emphasis Art - A Qualitative Art Program for Elementary and Middle Schools'.

Effective and Time Efficient!,

This review is from: How to Teach Art to Children (Paperback)
I have used this book in my second grade class and been pleasantly surprised at the results. The lessons are fun, require minimal set-up, and the projects created have turned out very well. There are multiple lessons for one concept so I have been able to skip any lesson that I feel may be too advanced for my students (though I have done that very infrequently). Overall, this book has been an incredibly valuable teaching tool.

Good book for younger children,
By Katina Lewis "Freelance Writer" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Teach Art to Children (Paperback)
This book is a good start to teaching younger children about art. It has smaller lessons that are good for younger kids to grasp onto concepts. I wish there was more to it, with some extra activities for each concept taught.It teaches children the use of lines and shape in art. It also has a section on color and color theory. Even older elementary aged children find the sections interesting and fun. There are a few blackline masters in the book that are great resources for teaching the concepts. Each concept has a list of materials and step by step instructions and that makes it very easy to use. This book is a must have for art teachers, homeschoolers and parents who want more art instruction for their younger children. |
