A place to begin
| Customer Rating:  | | We have found this to be a great book for introducing artists to our young one. True, it would be nice if there were more color pictures, but the book has a companion website that shows the paintings in color, and you can find activites there also. |
Best Art Teaching Book for Teachers or Parents
| Customer Rating: | | In all my years of teaching, I have never come across a book for teaching art that comes close to this one. This follows the model of the best art teacher I have worked with: introduce the artist and his/her work, and then present a project that is reflective of the artist's style, media, and vision in such a way that the student experiences the artist while not copying him/her. In this way, the student is left to express his own vision and create a unique piece of art. The artists covered are varied and presented chronologically, and the media are likewise varied yet accessible for even non-art teachers like myself. I recommend this for teachers, home schoolers, and even parents to enjoy with their kids! |
black and white, or in color EXCELLENT
| Customer Rating: | | I've read some of the reviews for this book that complain it is not in color. If you know anything about being an educational publisher, you know that they don't make a lot of money, and publishing in color is not a easy option. I think if you use this book, and work with the website that shows all the art in color ([...]), you'll be fine. This is an excellent book and well worth the price. I just reviewed MaryAnn Kohl's newest book, and it IS in full color, so it appears that she listened and did what she could to answer your comments, which is impressive, because it must have been a financial challenge. Good for you, Bright Ring Publishing! i hope it sells well!!! I think if you rethink what this book is for, then you can just let the color come from the children's expression of their own art works. Don't worry about what is on the book page other than the idea of an art project that is AMAZING as well as easy for you to put together for the kids. The kids are more interested in what they can create than in what your book has in it. Again,go to Bright Ring's website and all the color you ever dreamed of will be there for your enjoyment. |
Teacher Art Lovers
| Customer Rating: | When I viewed the sample pages of the book, I was excited. I became even more thrilled by the positive reviews others gave. However, when I received the book and quickly flipped through the pages, I was highly disappointed. I was under the impression that the pages would be colored. My assumption was wrong. Nonetheless, as I took a better look at the ideas presented, I became more assured that I made a great purchase. The authors provide a brief bio on the artist and simple projects related to the artists' style. Therefore, I am not too sad about the book being in black and white. As a teacher who loves to teach art, I know I will use this book as a resource for art projects.
*There is now a link available for this book to view colored copies of the artwork, but now for every artist. |
