Review: Truly inspirational - I bought this as a home-educator searching for ways to get my son to try something different from his usual pencil-drawings of castles. All the other books I saw were merely like recipe books; step-by-step instructions to produce any number of entirely copied pictures and craft projects. This author, however, focusses on how to present children with questions which can then be enthusiastically answered in art. For example, "What do you do after school?" or "How do animals show their feelings?" could produce any number of pictures or models. She of course details useful skills that can be taught in an enjoyable way to enable the children to portray the world effectively. For example, her way of drawing the human figure from life using a simple 'sausage' system enables children to depict action with amazingly effective results. Unfortunately, budding class teachers in the UK might feel very despondant after reading her tips for organising art tuition in the classroom. She is clearly blessed with a dedicated art room and ample time to prepare resources before each lesson, though the materials she uses are not necessarily inaccessible or expensive. Against all my expectations, my son and I spent many enjoyable hours creating impressive artworks out of inside-out boxes and masking tape. I urge trainee primary teachers to read this book before their PGCEs kill their ideals. Review: Really inspiring! - I love this book. It confirms a lot of my instincts as a young art teacher - emphasising familiarity with materials above all else - using open-ended questions to kick-start projects - and provides lots of examples of teaching situations and teacher interventions (or not). It is such a positive read and shows Nancy's joy for and love of teaching art. Really inspiring! I'm so happy to have found it. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 140,708 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 549 in Art, Music & Photography for Young Adults 683 in Children's Books on Art 4,099 in School Education & Teaching | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | ## Images ![The Art of Teaching Art to Children: In School and at Home - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71LTIevSULL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Truly inspirational *by B***N on 13 August 2011* I bought this as a home-educator searching for ways to get my son to try something different from his usual pencil-drawings of castles.

Otherwise it's a very good book. (There are some pictures of children and their work but they are black and white.) ## Frequently Bought Together - The Art of Teaching Art to Children: In School and at Home - Art Lab for Kids: 52 Creative Adventures in Drawing, Painting, Printmaking, Paper, and Mixed Media-For Budding Artists of All Ages (Volume 1) (Lab for Kids, 1) - How to Teach Art to Children, Grades 1-6, Learn and Use Elements of Art, Line, Shape, Color, Value, Texture, Form, & Space.
