5.0 out of 5 stars Easy Art

k. · October 28, 2024

Makes it very easy to teach about blends and primary colors, warm tones cool etc. Easy art projects to follow without having to spend a lot on supplies. I love this book for the primary grades.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great for homeschooling

A. · December 8, 2023

I was a little unsure how I was going to go about an art curriculum and I somehow stumbled upon this book.It works so well for us. For reference, I have a 5 year old. I will likely revisit some of these lessons or use them to create similar lessons as she gets older. Some of the lessons would probably be suited better for a child a tad bit older just because of the fine motor skills some of the activities require. But we still ge through them just fine and learning a lot about art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of organized ideas

L.H. · September 17, 2024

Basic level lessons good for grades 4 and under.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great "last minute planning" tool for teaching art to Elementary kids

S.I. · 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!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for teaching the" Grammar" of Art

L.S. · February 6, 2007

I am using this book as a tool for teaching kids the building blocks, or"grammar" of Art. The elements of Art are taught chapter by chapter, and are easily grasped when doing the projects, all which are well explained and fairly simple. There are several projects to help teach each element of Art, and the required supplies are inexpensive and easy to obtain. While the kids need to follow the specific requirements of each project, there is plenty of room for creativity.This book does not teach the technical skills of drawing or painting. It is designed to teach the building blocks of art. It will help a child think more about how artists use these elements to draw the eye in to a work of art, and will help them as they create their own pieces. A very good book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent art ideas

B. · July 13, 2024

Great book. I added a new subject to my self-contained classroom and this was a perfect book to give me simple ideas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent teaching tool with application for all ages.

D. · October 9, 2023

This book is well designed with applications for all ages state teaching standards for preschool, kindergarten, middle school and High School application.I am using it to teach 8-13 year old children.

3.0 out of 5 stars Project book, not a teaching book

l. · September 8, 2015

This isn't a "teaching" guide at all. It merely is a project book. Yes it encompasses the elements in a hands on manner but that is all. I had to supplement with other books to teach the art lesson and use this book for projects. The artists in the back are really the only teaching aspect of this book. The color wheel worksheets were good but again not great.

Amazing for teachers

A.C. · July 25, 2022

This will save me so much time next school year !!

A good start for all aspiring art teachers

A.C. · February 18, 2023

For people who intend to get into teaching art to kids I'd say this could be a good enough material to start of with and through time as you strat teaching art you will be able to add your own touch based on what you have learnt through this book, therefore I'd say it wouldn't be a waste of money at all... you could blindly go for it.With regards to who to buy it from, Look up for INFINITI BOOKS as a seller from Bolo, get in touch with Neha Madam, She'd be able to help you with all your business queries with regards to the book ,I had recently ordered for this book through them and it was securely packed and was delivered in excellent condition, I had purchased a few more books from this seller already even in the past and I highly recommend the seller. Neha Madam from Infiniti books was very helpful and courteous, Thank you so much for your amazing customer service, I look forward to doing more business with you. Overall, I had an excellent experience, Cheers.

Great guide book trata will help you in your art syllabus

E.M. · July 19, 2021

This book contains basic and simple techniques to introduce the students to artistic through reasoning and experimentation.It also contains artist and explane the artist’s techniques and they colud try to imitate them.100% RECOMMENDEDSpecilly for CLILprogrammes

A must have, if you teach art!

D. · September 18, 2015

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!

Fenomenal
