Children and Their Art: Art Education for Elementary and Middle Schools Details
Review "I have used this text for many years and at 3 universities. I have watched it grow and worked closely with it through four editions. Conceptually, I feel that it has been a very strong guide for art educators and has upheld current theories in art education."- Dr. Randy Miley, Mississippi College"In my opinion, this is the best textbook currently available for educating pre-service art teachers about teaching art at the elementary school level. Based on my 23 years of elementary school art teaching experience before entering higher education, I feel it captures the broad array of knowledge, skills, and processes elementary art teachers must master for successful teaching."- Robert Sabol, Purdue University - Rueff Department of Visual and Performing Arts Read more About the Author Michael Day completed his doctorate degree at Stanford University and has taught middle and high-school art in California.

Reviews
Textbook images rarely supporting written material. Confusing to read about paintings/artwork you cannot see, whilst at the same time looking at paintings/works of art that bear no direct relation to the written material
