Descript:

Art Works aims to empower elementary teachers by providing a range of techniques that they can use in planning their art programs, together with suggestions for displaying the resulting artworks. Most of these techniques will allow children to produce good results whether or not they, or the teacher, think of themselves as being artistic. Producing good results and having fun doing it from an early age will boost the confidence of students, while having a bright and stimulating classroom will benefit everyone.

In its 96 full color pages, Art Works includes suggestions for linking art with other learning activities in the classroom, along with a section on planning and evaluation. In this section, teachers are shown how to review their programs and evaluate the children's individual work, skills and attitudes.
