Busy Teacher's Guide: Art Lessons

When I ordered this, I had already ordered another art packet and was sorely dissapointed with it. When I got Busy Teacher's Guide: Art Lessons, it was not what I was expecting either. It does cover many areas of fine art introduction such as color, shading, contrast, mixing color, etc. This is to be used in homeschool for a 5th grader. While I think the explinations and history are over her head or at the least, even boring for her, I think the actual art, sometimes "crafty" projects might be fun for her.

Exactly what I needed

Had some pretty cool things inside of it

So many great ideas!

I "looked inside" on amazon and saw a different take on teaching the color wheel. I liked what I saw and bought it. However, after receiving it, I found the rest of the book disappointing. If you are a busy teacher, don't buy this book. There are few pictures of examples. The instructions are tedious and vague and the lessons themselves are not that impressive.

the children are enjoying this book

great

If you want a little more depth to your art lessons this is a great book. More than an 'arts and crafts' book - gives background of artists, resources, simple project instructions, and easy to find materials keeps the projects low cost. Super for any BUSY teacher.

Great
