I used this book for my Fine Arts for teachers class at Piedmont. I felt that each page was practical for teaching. It covered all forms of teaching children fine arts as well as activities and examples. I know that I will use many of these activities in my classroom and it also shares what the children are actually learning while creating (fine and gross motor skills etc). I am disappointed that they are no longer going to use this text in future semesters. This is one text I plan to keep!
