Growing Artists: Teaching Art to Young Children

Rating:
Summary: A terrific book. Practical, up-to-date. Inspiring.
Review: The author writes with enthusiam and knowledge. The depth of coverage is excellent. There are many wonderful features: art terms, teacher tips, addressing special needs, presenting artworks and dealing with safety issues. It clearly explains what to do and say when teaching art to toddlers through 8 year olds. It covers all art media in depth. Special attention is paid to integrating art using thematic teaching and the project approach. It is rich in appropriate theory and curriculum. This is a book for teachers just starting out and for those who want to up-date their teaching of art.
