A trusted guide and companion for current and future art educators,
CHILDREN AND THEIR ART presents a professional approach to teaching
art consistent with national standards for student learning. The
authors are experienced as art teachers in the public schools and
have a broad knowledge about school art programs. The Eighth
Edition provides an easy-to-use combination of theory, research,
and practical knowledge about teaching art. The most comprehensive
textbook available for teaching art education methods, CHILDREN AND
THEIR ART covers all aspects of teaching art in the elementary
classroom: the basic principles and goals of art education, the
characteristics and needs of children as learners, the core
principles of art as a subject-aesthetics, principles of design,
art history, art media-and all aspects of instruction-curriculum
planning, sample lessons, classroom management, and assessment.
Among numerous updates throughout the text, the Eighth Edition
features a brand-new chapter on visual culture. This new edition
also includes more than 300 illustrations, with well over 100 new
images added to provide examples of new media and better
representation of post-modern artforms and works by women and
minority artists.
