This a great book if you are looking for lesson ideas on introducing art terminology and practice into your classroom. This book offers 9 lessons per grade from k-5th. The only thing that I found lacking was a print of each masterpiece--I was unfamiliar with some of them and it would have been good to see.

Easy to follow art projects for elementry grades. I wish the authors had included pictures of the masterpieces, a line drawing of the artists and a short, kid-oriented biography. Nice variety of art vocabulary and artists.

The projects in this book are clear and simply explained. The concepts are appropriate for the grade levels. You will need to find a source for the prints needed for study before you can do the art projects.

A great book, pictures would have made it perfect. Her "Month by Month Masterpeices" sounds like it has addressed this issue, with 10 poster sized pictures. Do not be put off by Pollack's drip paintings being 1st or 2nd style presented, if you can not handle the thought of a mess, move to the next one.

Excellent condition and sent so quickly. Well packaged and arrived within two days of ordering. Can't wait to start using these lessons with my 2nd grade class. Thank you!

Masterpiece of the Month was recommended to me by a fellow teacher who used it in her class and loved it. When she taught first grade, she worked on the Sunflowers piece step-by-step with them, and then incorporated writing with it, too. In the end, they had beautiful sunflowers and poems hung up for parent to see, and the project got great reviews.

I was happy to find the same book used on Amazon. Though I haven't had time to try out all the pieces yet, I like that there is something for all ages involving different artists and styles. Perfect for an art teacher or any elementary school teacher.

As an art teacher, this is a wonderful tool. I really adore this book, and I'm glad I bought it. It's one of my favorites.
