Trade Review
‘This is an interesting, informative and well-structured book … [it] has the potential to enable future and current teachers to connect art with children’s real life, and offer meaningful art learning activities to them.’
- Victoria Pavlou, Frederick University, Cyprus
"As comprehensive or maybe more comprehensive than any other art education text I remember. It covers everything from curricular structure to classroom management to unit construction to example activities to national standards, using guiding questions throughout to explore big ideas, within the curriculum structure that encourages choices by students and teachers as a guiding mechanism for teaching and learning in art. [Sickler-Voigt] has gone deeply into the literature of art education and created this book based on sound artistic and educational theory and practice."
--Tom Anderson, Professor of Art Education (retired), Florida State University, USA, author of Art for Life
