Bringing Art into the Elementary Classroom

Rating:
Summary: A book for every elementary teacher
Review: This is a huge compendium of information on teaching art. What makes this book special is that it shows how to integrate art into writing workshops. It also shows how to help children discuss a piece of artwork and make aesthetic judgments. There are extensive lists of children's literature about art and relevant websites. It also has lots of how-to information on working with tradition art materials such as paint, clay, and paper. It also discusses bookmaking, photography and video production.
