You don't have to know a lot about art to teach your children or students using this helpful art book!
How to Teach Art to Children has it all: background information, literature resources, and easy step-by-step directions for 96 art projects. Children learn about the seven elements of art and then use the elements in the styles of famous artists.
This beautifully illustrated book is designed to increase children's awareness of different kinds of art and offer a wide range of activities to experience it. Included are downloadable PDFs of famous works of art that you can print and display in your classroom or home or use to create an art journal for children.
How to Teach Art to Children is divided into two sections:
- Learning About the Elements of Art: The first section introduces the seven basic elements of art: line, shape, color, value, texture, form, and space. A series of art activities allow young artists to experiment with each element.
- Using the Elements of Art: The second section focuses on famous artists and art experiences. Literature resources and examples of the artists' work help children learn and appreciate the famous artists' techniques. Simple step-by-step directions help children apply similar techniques in their own art projects.
