Fantastic resource
8 Nov 2007
Format:Hardcover
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.

Great Art book for classroom teachers
16 Sep 2008
Format:Hardcover
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.
