- Expanded chapter (Ch. 7) on integrating art instruction and language arts.
- Thoroughly revised chapters on integrating art instruction with social studies and with the performing arts.

- In the Classroom and In the Community boxes offer specific lesson plans and topic suggestions for general classroom teachers on art instruction.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Fantastic resource,
This review is from: Emphasis Art: A Qualitative Art Program for Elementary and Middle Schools (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
I am a specialist Art teacher and this book is my bible! It is filled with beautiful photos of student work and plenty of expert advice & knowledge. It doesn't give step-by-step instructions for any of the projects, but anyone with some experience or creativity can break down how to create the amazing pieces of work by studying the photos. It is inspirational and the authors obviously know their stuff. I highly recommend this book.

This review is from: Emphasis Art: A Qualitative Art Program for Elementary and Middle Schools (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
This book is very useful for classroom teachers that need some ideas for incorporating Art into their curriculum. I enjoy that there are special chapters for Math, Science etc and that there are special chapters for clay, crafts, painting, etc. Great book to have as a reference.
