I ordered this teacher’s edition and am glad to have it as part of my resources for teaching. There are many ideas for visual journaling, projects to help one’s sub teaching plans, and many great ideas for art class projects. The illustrations are beautiful and useful and she includes a concise glossary ... I highly recommend this book for any art teacher’s resource library.”

The art projects progress through the Elements of Art & the Principles of Design in wonderful fashion. I also admire the emphasis on inspiring creativity, both at the beginning and at the end when getting ready to show. Additional insights into famous artists and genres are great. I can’t say enough about this book. If you are teaching art to 7th – 12th graders you must have this book!”

Reviewed on March 25, 2022. I teach K - 12 grades in Art and PE. There was NO art dept. at our HS until this year so we started from scratch. I asked for ideas and researched many art teaching texts... this is hands down, THE BEST. I LOVE it and so now my students do too. I don't have funds to buy the students version yet, but am certain it is grand as well!!! I wish I could find a PE teaching text as awesome as this one is! :) !!!
