Elementary Art Workbook Teacher’s Edition

Grades 3-6.

By Eric Gibbons. Designed for classes in drawing, painting, and sculpture, this workbook includes nearly three years worth of lesson ideas, project samples, vocabulary, worksheets, sample tests, research paper samples, grading rubrics, sketch and note-taking pages, and short creative five-minute writing assignments, critiquing pages, and daily closure statements to meet district observational requirements. Lessons are easily adjusted to accommodate special needs students and material availability in many environments, from the school classroom to a fine arts camp program. Every lesson is designed to be personal and 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. The lessons combine information from core curriculum and merge it with fine art. The workbook is divided by multicurricula units so that the concrete connection to academic core courses is more easily seen. Students will come to understand the concepts and use and manipulate them for deeper understanding on multiple sensory levels of thinking. 200 pages. Copyright 2013.
