How to Teach Art to Children, Grades 1-6, Learn and Use Elements of Art, Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Form, & Space. Downloadable PDFs of Fine ... Edition, Reproducible. (Art Resources)

Really love how this teaching guide/workbook is laid. Great concepts that challenge the student to think outside the box. I will be using again next year.

I have no art background and I was able to teach a successful year of 1st and 2nd grade art co op class thanks to this book. The projects are simple, and supplies are easy to find. I loved the literature ideas to accompany the projects. I learned so much about art alongside my students!

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.

I can easily teach science and math no problem even if I am not given any curriculum, but ask me to teach art and I have a panic attack. I love art I really do and I think its a very important part of a rounded education, but I am more of a craft person. I never took formal art unless you count that elective on American art history in which we just learned well history (not art theory or even how to draw). So I basically had NO clue what should be taught for formal art education in any way. I found a lot of free stuff online, but with no idea what was or was not appropriate. It was too time consuming to try to figure it all out... so I did some research on amazon looking at different books and bought this one by Evan-Moor. All I can say is thank you for showing a systematic approach to learning formal art without a lot of unnecessary wordage that I do not have the time to read! I literally can pick up this book and open it to the first lesson and just go (as long as I have a stocked art supply cabinet). If I really want to find a handout on a particular topic - it really is not that hard now because at least I know what I am looking for because I know what topics to teach and focus on. So thank for this book from the bottom of my heart... now I can go back to planning excellent science experiments ;-)

I have an art background but struggled with putting together a homeschooling art program for my son. This book is the perfect answer. It’s well structured with projects made out of basic materials contained in most homes or easily purchased within a tight budget. The lessons are set up in a way that they can be used by almost any age group. I plan to make my own projects as we work through the book. If I counted correctly there are 90 projects. We will use this. Ok over the next two years, but it could easily be extended over a 3 year program. I highly recommend this book to homeschooling families or any children that have expressed a love of art.

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.

Wished I had this sooner - great reference book and aid

I received the book today and it arrived with a chunk of the cover torn and looked used ☹️As far as the content goes it is exactly what I was looking for. It just wasn’t worth the cost because it is NOT a brand new item.
