The Art Teacher's Survival Guide for Elementary and Middle Schools (J-B Ed: Survival Guides)

I just accepted my 1st teaching job at an elementary. I have a degree in 2D fine arts but little classroom experience. I needed a book that explained how to manage an ART classroom and what expectations to set for the different grade levels. I needed simplified explanations of complicated art concepts. I needed ideas of how to encourage, communicate with, and manage children with different levels of skill and interest. This book is great because it's not an elementary art book- it's an elementary teachers guide to teaching art! Perfect.

This book is perfect for me as I am a first year middle school teacher with visual arts. Not only does it give you classroom management tools it also gives you project and curriculum ideas!

As advertised! No nonsense book that takes teaching art and organizes all the main themes for 2021. Great for the specials teacher that doesn’t have an early education degree — or for the teacher with the developmental background, but not art knowledge.

Absolute must have

What trite and dull ideas. These projects are not very engaging.
