 Written on January 3, 2007 Summary: Mr. Kindt's thoughts on the Elementary/Middle School Art Book A true time saver! Full of very useful information. A must have.  Written on November 9, 2006 Summary: I returned it I dont agree with the other reviews. I thought the book was unapproachable. There were not enough photos or illustrations to really allow me (a visual person-hence an art teacher)to visualize the end results  Written on October 12, 2006 Summary: Lack of vision This art instruction manual is aptly titled as it is about "survival", offering hassle-free recipe- driven art projects for masses of students. If you were a public school student in the last 40 years the projects will look depressingly familiar--the obligatory construction paper mask, the linoleum block print, the paper mache' animal. What is lacking is an overriding vision of what students may achieve. The "goals" are largely stated by listing vocabulary words but the opportunities for real discovery are thin indeed. As an art teacher of 20 years, I would never rely on construction paper for collage as it is impossible to produce anything with richness from such flat uninteresting papers. The student block print examples show the medium at its least interesting with the images mostly being reverse outline, little exploration of shape or figure-ground reversal. Moreover, it is criminal that a book purporting to be about the development of the visual sense should have reproductions of such appalling quality. Some of them are clearly printing errors since all one can see are dark gray rectangles with a few hints of light. The student examples were grim and to me this is the book's greatest failing. The strength of an art instruction book to me usually lies in the student examples. Mona Brooks and Kaupelis (first name escapes me) produce inspiring books on the basis of their student work alone. On a positive note, the book is well- organized. It could possibly serve as a jumping off point to a teacher with experience and initiative, but for the most part it perpetuates the predictable, mind-numbing experience of the all-too typical 30 minute public school art block. Written on August 21, 2006 Summary: Survival It for Elementary Art Teachers Wonderful resource for classroom teachers without formal art training. Plenty of useful information and easy, understandable projects Written on August 21, 2006 Summary: A great help for both new and experienced educators I have been teaching art to children for nearly 7 years now, as well as having had my own fifth grade homeroom for 4 years, and this book is still a great resource. I bought it because I had borrowed it from another art educator and found it too helpful to miss. Some are new tips, some reminders, and loads of great projects. My only complaint is that the student work examples were horribly photographed and are often too dark and thus disappointing but still somewhat readable. Knowing this, I still bought it for the great content. |
