The Art Teacher's Book of Lists, Grades K-12

The Art Teacher's Book of Lists, 2nd Edition, was suggested to me by a fellow Art of Education University Master's Degree Student! I can not recommend this book enough for future and seasoned art teachers! I provide an incredible amount of information in one place, which would take hours to find and many sites to click if searching the internet for similar information. Thank you Helen Hume for pulling this all together in one place!

I bought this book and have found it very helpful. It gives you a great overview of (mostly) all art topics. I find it very helpful to be a spring board for art lessons. It also has some helpful diagrams throughout the book to help show the students' different concepts.

Used this book in a recent graduate class. Comparatively, the first had some great ideas that were omitted from this edition. Some of the information is a bit dated, Ms. Hume (i.e., 2010 NAEA Visual Arts standards). Otherwise, students made good use of it. Nice reference tool.

I love this book. I bought the print edition but the quality of the printing is so poor I had to buy the digital. I use these lists almost daily in my advanced classes. There are great website resources as well as art history and technique breakdowns. This is NOT a book of premade lesson plans so if that's what you're after don't spend your money here. It is a quick jumping off point.

What a treasure this book is! It's not an exaggeration to say it's almost exhaustive in its scope. Everything from names of art supplies with their purposes, great websites for art reference, museums around the world, names of art techniques, timelines, names of art movements, etc. Well worth it!

I bought this to add to my collection of helpful books for teaching art while completing my year of student teaching. It is great. Has fun, complete, and diverse lists, can be easy to incorporate in the classroom daily. Everything you need to know and all the stuff I forgot in undergrad Art History. :)

Do you feel paralysis because art is supposed to be... "realistic", "abstract", "poster of current political movement", "purchase worthy", on & on... Helen D. Hume takes you personally as an artist into your unique perspective, encouraging creative starting points that make sense, and once again finding your voice. It is a doorway that opens outside the former class room and straight into your own art studio or design platform.

I ordered this because it was required for one of my classes last year and I loved the information it contained. I wanted it as a reference for my future classroom, so I ordered it. I was upset that it came damaged, but none of the content was destroyed, so to save a return I am just going to fix the cover, tape a few pages and carry on!

easy access to what you need to know even for UK teaching

This book was just what I hoped it would be!! It has excellent lists fir everything art; projects, history, time lines, popular topics, techniques, vocabulary etc. I certainly recommend it.

I find this an excellent resource in the clsssroom.I catch myself reaching for this book before my lessons toadd to and enrich my lesson plans.

Very informative and full of helpful facts to know, and much easier than researching.

Really Usefull for art teacher who are looking for idea of new art project.
