A good source of ideas...

This book is a well organized guide to integrating art projects into any classroom. 20 ideas are separated into a month-by-month format with specific steps and supplies listed. Each project includes information such as number of sessions needed to complete, curriculum connection, vocabulary, references, and materials needed. The step-by-step instructions help anticipate any problems or questions that may arise. Examples: a flip book of portraits as a way to get to know one another in September, Chinese Dance Festival Mask and zodiac animal seal for January, a weather vane for March wind, and bug prints for spring. A variety of two dimensional and three dimensional activities are covered. Many good ideas. There are full color reproductions of each project as well as line illustrations for the instructions. Designed for teacher use but could also be used by parents/homeschoolers.
