Her enthusiastic hands-on guide, based on her 13 years of experience, includes storytelling about artists’ lives and times, talking with the children about the art, drama and writing activities, and preparation for museum visits. Her examples range from cave paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and Renaissance art to works by Diego Rivera and Jackson Pollock. For each project, she gives the actual stories and pictures she used, possible curriculum connections, and a wealth of resources, including adult and children’s books and reference materials. An excellent readable guide for librarian-teacher cooperation across the curriculum.”—Booklist, Hazel Rochman “A wonderful guide to the art history of many cultures from around the world…. This is a major cllection of ideas for art teachers, teacher-librarians and classroom teachers who want to enrich learing beyond the drag of dril, drill, drill. Highly Recommended.”—Teacher Librarian, June 2007 |
