I can easily teach science and math no problem even if I am not given any curriculum, but ask me to teach art and I have a panic attack. I love art I really do and I think its a very important part of a rounded education, but I am more of a craft person. I never took formal art unless you count that elective on American art history in which we just learned well history (not art theory or even how to draw). So I basically had NO clue what should be taught for formal art education in any way. I found a lot of free stuff online, but with no idea what was or was not appropriate. It was too time consuming to try to figure it all out... so I did some research on amazon looking at different books and bought this one by Evan-Moor. All I can say is thank you for showing a systematic approach to learning formal art without a lot of unnecessary wordage that I do not have the time to read! I literally can pick up this book and open it to the first lesson and just go (as long as I have a stocked art supply cabinet). If I really want to find a handout on a particular topic - it really is not that hard now because at least I know what I am looking for because I know what topics to teach and focus on. So thank for this book from the bottom of my heart... now I can go back to planning excellent science experiments ;-)

There's more online in terms of resources than in this book. The projects are uninspiring. If you teach art, join the art teaching communities on Facebook, look at Cassie Stephens' blogs/vlogs, look at instagram. This is really basic. Thank god I found this after I already found all of those other resources! Pinterest... I mean, there are a few fundamental things in here, but honestly, nothing I would do with my classes. Sorry!

A great resource for teachers who want to teach ART!

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2020

I’m very pleased with this book. It teaches the 7 elements of Art with several examples of each one. For instance the color wheel is a topic as well as mixing colors. The lessons are step-by-step. A fourth grade student could do the projects by themselves, because the steps are easy to follow. The book is a good guide to learning so much about art. The projects are easy. Scissors are used frequently. Snippets of the lives of famous artists are included, however there are no pictures of their work, but works are listed. This is a wonderful book for any art teacher, but even more so for a teacher who knows very little about art!

So far, this is the best art book I have found for homeschooling my Kindergartener and 1st Grader. I teach art but more for older children and I have hate the other books I’ve purchased. This one is awesome and a lot of fun to work through together.

A great "last minute planning" tool for teaching art to Elementary kids

Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2013

Purchased this book as a quick reference for simple ways to teach some basic art concepts when I was recently hired as an Art Teacher for an after school program.
This book is REALLY well outlined and illustrated, so it's very easy to read and follow if you need an idea in a pinch! Even someone who is subbing for Art (but maybe isn't as familiar with the concepts) can easily create a simple lesson for any child!
Has some great back-pocket projects that could be substantial for the youngest kids, and can ben quickly implemented. Definitely a great book to keep on hand when teaching art to young kids, especially for an ART CAMP setting!
My only complaint would be that a majority of the projects include PAINT, which is a bit more difficult to use in the program I am in, and some of the projects seem a little "young", but all in all, a great starter point for planning and reference!

This has a really nice selection of projects for children. So often I pick up these type books at the library only to get them home and say under my breath how thankful I am I didn't buy them. This is well worth having.

Great for begginers

Great for someone that has no idea about art as a beginner. Excellent for a special education teacher to teacher something else different as a therapy. It has different projects for each lesson. It covers pretty much every subject in art.

Great for homeschoolers

Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2013

Bought this book for homeschooling my son. He is currently in 1st grade (6 yo). Some of the activities/projects and concepts were a bit advanced, but easily adjusted to his learning level. Each concept has multiple activities/projects to reinforce the concept. Some of these activities are geared more toward the classroom and multiple people. Easily solved, as I did the activity as well! My child enjoyed my interaction and I had fun.
This book will last many years and grow with my child's abilities.

A must have, if you teach art!

If you teach your own art, this is the ONLY book you need! Its excellent. I took the concepts from the book and made a couple projects out of it and the kids absolutely LOVE IT. If you have zero artistic background, this book will have you teaching it like a pro. I HIGHLY recommend this book. I borrowed a copy from a 30 year veteran of teaching and after using it for a week, I bought my own copy. I moved to a new school and people think I'm an art expert! Do yourself a favour and get this book if you're teaching your own art!
