Description

How to Teach Art to Children contains 96 projects that teach the 7 elements of art: line, shape, color, value, texture, form, and space. A nice variety of projects accommodates a range of ages and lets each artist respond at their own level. For example, when teaching color, students will learn about warm vs. cool tones, contrast, primary and secondary colors, and get their hands into mixing paints! When learning about texture, they will make cray­on rubbings, create an abstract still life with colored pencils, and construct a textured landscape mural with crayons and textured surfaces. No fancy art supplies are required as most of the art projects are done on or with paper using paints, crayons, colored pencils, and various around-the-house, collage-type materials. You will also learn about several famous artists in the context of the elements!
