Art Projects by Design: A Guide for the Classroom

Teachers - even those with no formal art training - can bring the inspiration of art into the classroom with this resource! Following basic principles and elements of design (composition, line, texture, color, and so forth), the book provides step-by-step directions for more than 120 classroom-tested art projects. Students will enjoy such activities as creating African masks, op art weavings, and Celtic initials, while learning about art history and other subjects. The projects are easily integrated into a variety of curriculum areas, including math, social studies, and language arts. Many are multiculturally based and most use standard classroom art materials. Grades K-6.
