5.0 out of 5 starsExceptional Art Resource
By Heather Rindlisbacher on March 27, 2008
Format: Paperback
This book is an exceptional resource for those just beginning to offer a creative art program in their school, or for those experienced in offering creative arts who want some new insights to add to their program! This book is NOT a guide to arts and crafts, it is far more than that. It truly draws on the philosophies of Reggio Emilia and the concept of using creative art as a form of self expression, but these concepts are presented in such a way that even an educator with no prior knowledge of Reggio Emilia could implement the program successfully. It includes descriptions of various art activities (including watercolors, tempera paint, clay, and more), materials lists, and instructions for clean up, but even more valuable to me were the guides to conversing with children as they worked in an engaging, but non-directive manner. A must-have book for anyone interested in offering children creative art opportunities!

5.0 out of 5 starsTeaching art for the non-art teacher
By C. Zeller on August 6, 2008
Format: Paperback
Anne Pelo is such a great mentor. This book is wonderful! It has inspired me to think about art as an experience rather an activity. This is what is meant by process, not product art. I wish I had this book when I first started teaching! This book has given me the confidence to teach children how to use many types of art medium, use art tools correctly and confidently, and clean-up with ease. And each chapter has detailed, Reggio-inspired ways of documenting art practices with young children.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat resource
By Susan M. Nelson on June 9, 2009
Format: Paperback
Great book to read for early childhood teachers. This book is practical, easy to read and gives great ideas for you to use in your classroom. The use of clay, wire, drawings and much more are described throughout this book. If you enjoy thinking "out of the box" when it comes to art...this is a must read!

5.0 out of 5 starsWonderful Book!
By Sun Flower on January 20, 2011
Format: Paperback
I really love this book! I have given it to all theteachers in my center as a guide for classroom arts. It is well thought out and easy to follow. The pictures are very helpful. This is not an art guide for an art teacher- this is a book for people that are in the classrom and want to add arts into the curriculum. Ann has done a great job. I highly recommend this book.
