Product Description
This beautifully illustrated text reflects the latest trends in art education and demonstrates how to motivate students to learn by integrating art with other content areas. Emphasis Art, 8/e focuses on the intrinsic worth of art-studio experience through its Discipline-Based Art Education approach, as well as on the process of implementing art education into classroom practice. Useful for both general classroom teachers and art specialists, this popular text promotes art appreciation while providing a wealth of creative ideas and clear technical direction, including lesson plans that incorporate instructional objectives. Features of the eighth edition include a new emphasis on integrating art instruction in the general classroom, National Art Educators Association Standards correlated to chapter content, and expanded emphasis on social and cultural issues.

5 out of 5 stars Great Art book for classroom teachers   September 16, 2008
This book is very useful for classroom teachers that need some ideas for incorporating Art into their curriculum. I enjoy that there are special chapters for Math, Science etc and that there are special chapters for clay, crafts, painting, etc. Great book to have as a reference.

I am a specialist Art teacher and this book is my bible! It is filled with beautiful photos of student work and plenty of expert advice knowledge. It doesn't give step-by-step instructions for any of the projects, but anyone with some experience or creativity can break down how to create the amazing pieces of work by studying the photos. It is inspirational and the authors obviously know their stuff. I highly recommend this book.

I have read this book, it is very informative. A lot of "hands on" information that you can use in your classroom or for private lessons!
