Art and the Human Experience has been carefully designed to meet the unique needs of the middle school student. Developed on the premise that art is inescapably linked to the experience of being human, this program engages students by demonstrating that art is and always has been a way for people across time and cultures to express their ideas.
Authentic studios provide opportunities for expression through a variety of forms and media while teaching and reinforcing the elements and principles of design.
The book features dazzling images, including women artists, contemporary and multicultural images and examples of student artwork.
The Teacher's Edition includes:
- an easy-to-follow three-step lesson plan;
- assessment options;
- support for meeting individual needs;
- interdisciplinary learning;
- cultural connections;
- teaching through inquiry;
- community involvement;
