Great Art book for classroom teachers

This book is very useful for classroom teachers that need some ideas for incorporating Art into their curriculum. I enjoy that there are special chapters for Math, Science etc and that there are special chapters for clay, crafts, painting, etc. Great book to have as a reference.

Fantastic resource

I am a specialist Art teacher and this book is my bible! It is filled with beautiful photos of student work and plenty of expert advice & knowledge. It doesn't give step-by-step instructions for any of the projects, but anyone with some experience or creativity can break down how to create the amazing pieces of work by studying the photos. It is inspirational and the authors obviously know their stuff. I highly recommend this book.

Emphasis Art

I have read this book, it is very informative. A lot of "hands on" information that you can use in your classroom or for private lessons!

You cannot live, or teach art, without this one!

This book was recommended to me and I love it! You will not find a better book for an art teacher!!

Outstanding!!!

I love this book and believe it would be helpful for all art teachers. I love the approach and recommend it. Theory, application, and projects are all found in this book. Get it.
