Best book for teachers (art and classroom)
This book has many positives.It really helps to set up each student by grade and ability.It is a wealth of information for a bargain price.I am an art teacher and purchased this to help with development of an art program.Even as a seasoned art teacher, I have used it almost every day.

Art Teacher's Bible
Oh my! This book is essential for any Art teacher of elementary and middle school age children. The author takes you step-by-step on what you need to know to teach Art. I'm just starting out teaching Art at the elementary level and I know that this book is going to be well used. I should probably buy another to replace this one when I wear this one out. If you are teaching Art, you should have this book.

Essential Guide
This book has been a great source of help and encouragement in my teaching in middle school art. It not only provides hundreds of project ideas but it has recommendations for age level appropriate activities. The first part of the book gives grade by grade suggestions for what those students can do at their age level, as well as, what each age group enjoys doing. It also offers suggestions for tools and materials that are best experienced or avoided with the different grade levels.
Under the different project ideas, the book offers many ways to incorporate other subject areas into the art lesson or, for those who teach other subject areas, to have art projects that enhance their subject matter.
I was encouraged by reading and recognizing areas in which I was right on target for the age level of my students. I also appreciated the constructive suggestions for new opportunites to give my students a better art experience. I can't recommend this book more highly !!

Not as good as I had hoped
Yes I suppose this was mildly helpful but it is a big book and the ideas aren't great.You're better off asking a veteran teacher what you need to know.
