5.0 out of 5 stars
Good book for teachers and students,
This review is from: The Creative Arts: A Process Approach for Teachers and Children (4th Edition) (Paperback)
I found this book to be excellent for the classroom. The author supports teaching art to children by grounding her methods in current learning theories. I have had students tell me that they enjoyed the many stories of real classroom experiences that the author shares throughout the book. It is a good resource and inspiration for those who want to teach art to children.

Wrong Book,
This review is from: The Creative Arts: A Process Approach for Teachers and Children (5th Edition) (Paperback)
I ordered this book and it was here within the specified time that it said it would. I just received the wrong book. They were gracious enough to take the book back and send me the correct one for little to no cost to me. I appreciate that in a company/person who is looking to continue to do business with me. I will use them again, knowing how easy it was to correct this problem! Thanks!
