2.0 out of 5 stars Okay for the basics, November 8, 2007
I think this book is alright if you want some quick and easy art activities or if you need an introductory worksheet when teaching a certain art element. I am a specialist Art teacher and I very occassionally refer to the book for 'early finisher' activities. But, as a book that claims 'how to teach art to children' it is severely lacking and I did not find any of the 96 projects inspirational. All of the illustrations appear to be photos of adult work (made to look like childrens' work). If you are looking for a book with depth, expert advice and beautiful photos of actual student work - I would thoroughly recommend the book 'Emphasis Art - A Qualitative Art Program for Elementary and Middle Schools'.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have resource in a children's art library, April 6, 2002
By S. Brand "sandra807" (United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
I have used this book repeatedly for art lessons for children. My students have compiled a portfolio of these projects. First children learn about primary and secondary colors on the color wheel. They experiment with mixing colors to create gradations of colors, and making them lighter and darker.

After these basic lessons, they create a variety of interesting and fun projects emphasizing the use of color. The projects are easy to do with a minimum of basic materials: water colors or acrylic paints, glue, colored construction paper, and markers.

Lessons include repetition and arrangements of shapes made with cut-out shapes, stamping and rubbings. Children experiment with straight and curved-line designs. With a little extra teacher and student imagination, we have turned out some very attractive and impressive projects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Early Childhood Teacher's Must Have, July 15, 2000
By marilyn clifton (Lone Jack, MO) - See all my reviews
Great book on primary colors and fantastic lessons on color mixing and making secondary colors. The children in my class loved each and every lesson. Good classroom teaching, support and review tool for new Fine Arts teaching standards. A definite plus for your resource collection. Evan-Moor consistently has great books.
