Creating Art With Kids Using the Elements of Design in the Elementary Classroom 166 art activities and resources for teachers by Renee Goularte Creating Art With Kids is a book for elementary teachers who would like to bring more art activities and art appreciation into their classrooms with a minimum cost. Most of the activities in this book are open-ended and use common classroom materials. There are no expensive materials to buy, and activities can be implemented with minimum advance planning.    From the introduction: Creative, meaningful art instruction does not require the ability to draw a straight line. It need not rely on art specialists, nor does it require expensive materials or extended periods of classroom time. This book proposes that all teachers can give students real art instruction, and any student can make real art.   Ready to order?
