This TEACHER'S EDITION workbook was created by a 20+ year certified veteran teacher and curriculum writer for classes in drawing, painting &amp; sculpture designed for grades 6 through 12. Lessons are easily adjusted to accommodate special needs students &amp; material availability in many environments from the school classroom to a fine arts camp program. It includes more than 2 year's worth of lesson ideas, project samples, vocabulary, worksheets, sample tests, research paper samples, grading rubrics, sketch and note taking pages, and short creative 5 minute writing assignments. This book is also a helpful aid in fulfilling US State &amp; Federal accommodation requirements (504, IEP) by providing special needs students additional documented &amp; written material that may be taken home. Every lesson is designed to be personal &amp; expressive fine art. There are NO "crafty" projects or "cookie-cutter" lessons where everyone has the same outcome. This book stresses a "divergent thinking processes" approach and creative problem solving, with an art therapy undertone. Most lesson suggestions may be done in different media to work within tight budgets. Anecdotal evidence from the author's guidance department indicates that students who take his course with this workbook are 50% LESS likely to fail standardized testing. These are real numbers that can grab the attention of your administration &amp; Board of Education. These lessons combine information from core curriculum and merge it with fine art. Concepts of math, science, history, language, &amp; writing converge in a well-orchestrated, rigorous, and relevant program. Students not only come to understand the concepts but use them and manipulate them for deeper understanding on multiple sensory levels of thinking. This workbook is divided by multicurricula units so that this concrete connection to academic "core courses" is more easily seen. Does this mean that an art class loses its creative edge by incorporating other subjects? No, this integration enhances it. Students have a deeper understanding of the work, they come to see the relevance, and are more likely to "buy into" the concept. When students ask, "Why do we have to know this stuff," the answer becomes relevant through the daily approach, process, and end products. ALL projects herein are designed to have successful divergent results, incorporate creative problem solving, &amp; bring relevant connections to students' lives. This book is built for student success on many levels from gifted to challenged. This in turn is helpful in fulfilling mandated accommodations so that no child is left behind.

Elementary Art Workbook - Student Edition: A Classroom Companion for Painting, Drawing, and Sculpture

This is a sketchbook, not an instructional manual, nor a replacement for good lesson planning. There is lots of empty spaces to fill with your drawings, sketches and artworks… sometimes though a blank sketchbook leaves you feeling just as blank. Each right hand page has a creative idea to get you started. This is great for the student artist to build their skills and the professional artist to explore new ideas. Art teachers can cut the binding and use the sheets as hand-outs for those students who are done too early. This book has been designed so that if you use inks that bleed, you will not ruin a drawing on the back of another page. The author is an artist and art teacher with over 20 years of experience to help students get some preliminary ideas and points of departure. Many of these concepts may spur on others ideas for larger projects. The first few pages will include information and concepts that may help you complete the sketches in this book.

What They Didn’t Tell You in College Often, teaching can be a whole different experience than what prospective educators have been told in college. This book provides “Real Life” experience from a teacher with 20+ years in the trenches and his colleagues. Teaching is NOT for everyone. It takes a special person with a lot of patience and organization to teach. Procrastinators will find themselves underwater in short order as well as in violation of the LAW in some cases. Teachers are scrutinized with background checks, finger printing and are on file with the FBI. Though Freedom of Speech is in our Constitution, there are some very real limits about what a teacher can and cannot say in the classroom or even outside the school or on the internet. These constraints may simply be too much for some. You will never be paid what your work is actually worth or the hours you really put in, and the politics of unions, parents, and administration can sour your enthusiasm. In many places, the whole profession of teaching is under attack as an easy/soft target to squeeze financially by cutting benefits and salaries. That said, the rewards are numerous as well. I make a comfortable middle-class salary. I still have students visiting me many years after graduation thanking me for my influence in their lives. I know I have saved several from the brink of suicide with the help of a guidance counselor; I have championed students who would otherwise be lost in the system, I have planted the seeds of my own content expertise and have witnessed the blossoming and growth in my students firsthand. I have affected lives for the better and some have become lifelong friends. Though I love my subject, it is because of some of these less tangible reasons I am a teacher.
