Great resourse for Primary Grades,
By HH "holiday" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Art with Books Kids Love: Art Elements, Appreciation, and Design with Award-Winning Books (Paperback)
This book is a great resource for learning how art is put together as well as experiencing different types of 2-dimentional art. This book is an easy read for the educator. Each chapter has projects for helping children understand the concept as well as recommendations for children books that put the art idea into action.The book begins with the elements of art such as line, shapes, texture and so on, this is followed by the principles of art like harmony, balance, movement ... and finally to artistic styles such as realism, impressionism, etc. Example: Chapter 8, Variety and Contrast explains why artists use variety and contrast and what methods they use, references to fine art and children's literature are given, apply technique by drawing flies in different sizes, facing different ways and with different patterns Note: You do not need the reference books to use this book, it is only additional help. We did not use it and enjoyed the book. 54 of 59 people found the following review helpful:

children's books LISTED, not pictured,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Art with Books Kids Love: Art Elements, Appreciation, and Design with Award-Winning Books (Paperback)
As far as teaching art concepts, principles, elements, style, this is a good book.BUT...I thought this book would include picture examples from the "more than 20 Caldecott... books" mentioned. The way the synopsis on the back of the book reads "Using more then 100 illustrations and award winning children's books..." is technically correct. There are pictures & there are books, the pictures are just not OF or FROM the books. All the pictures were "created by the author"(p.xvi). The books are included in each chapter as "Children's Literature Examples" and given in a sort of bibliography type format. "Famous...books...are listed. Finding examples can be frustrating...Don't spend a lot of time on it..." (p.xv). Perhaps this was meant to foster trips to the library, but I am still dissapointed. 28 of 30 people found the following review helpful:

This author walks her talk,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Teaching Art with Books Kids Love: Art Elements, Appreciation, and Design with Award-Winning Books (Paperback)
Not only is this an excellent way to bring art and literature together in the classroom, but the author proves each day how well her strategies work. I am a colleague of Darcie Frohardt and see the amazing results she gets from children every day. This book is for "all" teachers (not just art teachers), and the books she teaches from are readily available in your school library. In fact, you'll probably own most of them yourself. In a time when the arts are being threatened by the standardization of education, Darcie's book is a shining light. Go ahead, give it a try. You will be glad you did.
