Professional Review.......2005-05-04
Children and Their Art is the most comprehensive textbook available for teaching art education methods. This bestselling textbook covers all aspects of teaching art in the elementary classroom: the basic principles and goals of art education, the characteristics and needs of children as learners, the core principles of art as a subject-aesthetics, principles of design, art history, art media-and all aspects of instruction-curriculum planning, sample lessons, classroom management, and assessment. The seventh edition has been thoroughly updated and includes coverage of the National Standards for Art Education as well as the impact of postmodern thought on the practice of art education. It also provides a concise overview of child development theories and the latest findings on child development and brain research, including Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences.
It was a good condition and fast........2004-08-19
Thank you for a fast delivery and a good condition of the book.
Great Teacher Resource -- for the arts.......2000-03-27
This is a great book to use in a pre-service teacher education program. However, I am a long-time art educator and I still refer to it because it has a wide range of information on issues we encounter every day. This year I am teaching the art class for undergraduate elementary teachers and it is proving a very valuable resource. It is written in a readable, highly practical way with lots of examples that make adding art into an elementary curriculum not seem so foreign or so daunting. I do feel that there is a need for other supplemental reading and resources to accompany this text, but it is a great overall art education text, especially for the generalist teacher.
Book Description
A strongly recommended resource for both elementary art and classroom teachers.
- SchoolArts
Teachers everywhere have found that book making has the power to motivate even the most reluctant writers. By combining illustrations and texts, children engage in a kind of communication that transcends the sum of its partstheir pictures and words interact to convey a new level of meaning.
In Pictures ; Words Together, Paul Johnson addresses important questions about the process: What do children learn through illustrating their texts? How do texts and illustrations "work" together? He shows how preschool and primary students can be taught to create books that fuse their writing and drawing in profound ways. He offers advice on helping children think about the most effective ways to blend text and pictures, draw the characters and settings for their narratives, and publish their books using simple cutting, folding, and binding techniques.
Filled with practical suggestions for teaching and evaluation, as well as abundant examples of children's work, this book is essential reading for those who want to enrich the writing and visual communication experience for children.

Practical Advice For Artists.......2001-02-28
This is a great book, full of useful advice on how to use art materials safely. Contains many pictures of artists and their solutions to the problem of using sometimes toxic materials in their personal studio space. Easy to understand and well organized, this book is good to keep as a reference manual, and many schools have it on their required reading list.
Book Description
On September 11, the world was shown the face of bravery. As one woman so poignantly put it: "As we ran out, they ran in." These heroes were doing the job they do each day, protecting more than 8 million residents in the area of 320 square miles that is New York City. That horrible day, we were made heartbreakingly aware of the risks these people take daily; risks their loved ones knew all to well. First-hand witnesses to the heroism of the FDNY, the photographers of The New York Daily News knew these risks too. They have been covering the life and death situations - the human drama that fire creates - since the founding of The New York Daily News in 1919. These seasoned photographers of the Daily News have chased firetrucks in their radio cars since the earliest days of photojournalism, photographing children and animals being rescued from burning buildings, and capturing the disbelief on the faces of those gazing at the remnants of their lives, going up in smoke. These photographers know intimately the faces of those left behind in covering the all too many funerals, mourning with the families a loss felt not only across a city of millions, but acutely within a deeply bonded fraternity across the country. Culled from the archive of The New York Daily News, consisting of more than 6 million images, this book represents more than eighty years of the world renowned New York City Fire Department in action, fighting fires, rescuing lives, and bringing peace and order to chaos, fear, and destruction. In the Fire Department of New York, there are more than 11,400 Fire Officers and Firefighters. In addition, the FDNY includes 2,800 EMS and Paramedics personnel. This book is a tribute to their dedication, bravery, and humanity.

Fantastic Book.......2007-01-15
I bought this book for my firefighter son for Christmas. He was very impressed with the photographs and how they were arranged. The photos chosen represent the dangers of the profession and the heroism of the men who choose this career. They also portray the brotherhood and camaraderie that develops among the firefighters, not only in New York, but everywhere. This was money well spent!!
A rich history in pictures.......2003-01-22
Patrice O'Shaughnessy and Shawn O'Sullivan are both New York Daily News Photographers and as such have compiled a tremendous aray of great pictures of New York's firefighters at work and at play.
These pictures span eight decades from the early 1920's to the present. They traverse a wide array of emotions from a group of firemen posing with a woman whose baby they helped deliver to a son visiting his dying father in the Burn Unit. There are also a tremendous amount of photos that show the FDNY at work and these are incredible in that they show such a consistent theme of self-sacrifice and personal discipline, tempered with the fun-loving, zest for life that these men have exhibited throughout the years.
This is a GREAT piece of photojournalism. 9-11 may have made this book more poignant, but it's the rich historical pictorial that makes it a treasure.
Title Speaks for its Self.......2002-09-26
By far,some of the most historic photographs of the FDNY. Just enough commentary to allow the photos to speak for themselves. A must for all Firefighters!
Book Description
Each volume contains all the winning and commended entries from the annual British Gas Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition--from the best international photographers.

A disapointment.......2000-07-26
I am an avid lover of books of photography and happened to find this one to be a bit of a disapointment. I would not recommend it for the average photography enthusiast, however if you are interested in warfare you might enjoy this book. It is the type, however, that I would suggest borrowing from the library before purchasing.
Book Description
New Yorker Magazine artist Tomer Hanuka collects his best comics work from the last five years, including stories previously published in Bipolar, the award winning comics series co-created with his twin brother. This collection of nine short stories deals with identity, memory, and destiny. From the hollow existence of twenty-something urbanites in Brooklyn and their magical parallel lives, to a dense psychological collage of a split-second lifetime, the stories touch a raw nerve we never knew we had.
