4.0 out of 5 stars A great art book to get ideas from!, March 11, 2004

By	C. Ernest "Mr. Mew" (Racine, WI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was given to me as a gift and I have enjoyed using it as a jumping off point for my kids in elementary art lessons. It is well organized and even helps teachers out by categorizing the chapters by type of art and then from simple to more complex projects. My only complaint (and this is small) is that it would include better examples and descriptions of the steps to get to the finished product. All of the projects are shown in one page with a simple black-and-white picture on the opposite side. I would have liked to have seen the more step-by-step examples. most teachers will not have any problems using or adapting this book to their needs! Overall, it was well worth it and evne better that I got it as a gift!

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible Book, August 11, 2008

By	Catherine Climaco "art teacher" (denver, co) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is one of the worst art lesson plan books I have ever seen. It claims to have lessons for grades 1-8 but after I looked through the entire book, the lessons seemed geared only toward elementary ages. The lessons were very generic and left absolutely no room for creativity. They have no multicultural ties whatsoever and are just plain boring. Do NOT waste your money on this book! I wouldn't even recommend it for an elementary teacher who has to teach art in their room, you can do better than this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 11, 2008

By	ArtMom (Rathdrum, ID United States) - See all my reviews

Although the book has several art project ideas, I didn't feel they offered anything that isn't found in other curricular art books. It wasn't what I was hoping for and I returned the book. If you don't have any other art project books this might be an okay book to start with. There are, however, much better books for teachers out there. My recommendation is to pass on this one.
