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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.

You don’t have to know a lot about art to teach your children or students using this helpful art book! Art projects are easily adaptable to different ages.

  • 96 art projects with step-by-step directions
  • Full-color fine art examples

  • And many more!

When will this book be available in print?  It's disappointing that the digital copy is the same price as the printed copy.

Thank you for your interest in our products! At this time, this is out of stock, but we are expecting to restock this title in print around the first week of November. If you would like to wait for the book to come back, you may do so. Our E-books are considered as good as our print books, and they also come with the convenience of having the title digitally and more immediately. In addition to this, the Teacher Resource has pages from the student activity book that you may print for your students accordingly. Also, our editorial staff spends quite a bit of time creating these files and for that reason we consider them just as valuable as the print copies. We also are planning on having an E-book sale on 10/27, if you would like to wait until then to make a purchase. We hope this helps. Thank you for your support and understanding.
