5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Guide Oct 14 2009
By Patricia A. Howard - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has been a great source of help and encouragement in my teaching in middle school art. It not only provides hundreds of project ideas but it has recommendations for age level appropriate activities. The first part of the book gives grade by grade suggestions for what those students can do at their age level, as well as, what each age group enjoys doing. It also offers suggestions for tools and materials that are best experienced or avoided with the different grade levels.
Under the different project ideas, the book offers many ways to incorporate other subject areas into the art lesson or, for those who teach other subject areas, to have art projects that enhance their subject matter.
I was encouraged by reading and recognizing areas in which I was right on target for the age level of my students. I also appreciated the constructive suggestions for new opportunites to give my students a better art experience. I can't recommend this book more highly !!

This book was recommended to me from my mentor teacher. It has a wide variety of art projects, ideas, history, techniques, etc. It will spark your interest and ignite your imagination. It is definitely an excellent jumping off point and/or reference for teachers, parents, and art lovers. The information in this book can be connected to and expanded from from various additional sources.

5.0 out of 5 stars Art Teacher's Bible Aug 20 2010
By Leslie Art Teacher - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Oh my! This book is essential for any Art teacher of elementary and middle school age children. The author takes you step-by-step on what you need to know to teach Art. I'm just starting out teaching Art at the elementary level and I know that this book is going to be well used. I should probably buy another to replace this one when I wear this one out. If you are teaching Art, you should have this book.
