An invaluable compendium of resources for conducting an effective arts instruction and appreciation program
The revised Third Edition of The Art Teacher's Survival Guide for Elementary and Middle Schools offers art specialists and classroom teachers alike everything they need to teach visual arts to K-8 students. Comprehensive and practical, this book offers more than 100 creative art projects and multicultural curricular resources. Inside, you'll find guidance, tools, and resources on teaching and appreciating the visual arts--including creating, presenting, responding, and connecting based on NCCAS (National Coalition for Core Art Standards).
The ten chapters in this edition feature:
"This new resource book incorporates a wide variety of original and engaging grade level lessons and projects designed around specific art concepts that integrate with many cultures and other subjects. Time saving pictures and examples, with added links to resources and current National Coalition for Core Art Standards, provide background information and context that help learning come alive for students, as they not only learn about art, but gain skills to become artists themselves."
--Cassandra Collins, Musician and Fine Arts Chair of Parkway School District, 2001-2014, Adjunct Professor at Webster University, 2013 Missouri Outstanding Art Administrator of the Year Recipient
"Throughout my career as an elementary art educator, I've had the opportunity to host several Student Teachers, and this book is the first reference I share with them. The information and guidance in this book are essential, a must have. I am so excited that there is now a third edition."
--Rick Peterson, Editor of Show Me Art
