Most of the book seems repetitive, but there are a few helpful games and organizational strategies to benefit from. It's all about keeping an open mind when planning projects for students, while creating mini lessons to teach technique and material along the way. It appeared to be a common sense solution to creativity in the art classroom. Allow more freedom and students become more creative. I could've written the book. Should have.
