The art work that Frances Flicker drew from her students was impressive; there were a number of pieces I wanted to take home! , If art education has always baffled you, this book is the key to unlock its mysteries. Frances Flicker takes you on a journey to discover the secrets to producing quality work from your students, and quite possibly, yourself. Join me on this treasure hunt and use the lessons outlined in this, and future books, in the series., As an experienced middle school art teacher, Frances Flicker knows that, in order to for students to think creatively and become innovative problem solvers, it is imperative that educators teach creatively and innovatively. Innovations and Influences, the first book in the Creating Art through the Ages Series allows teachers to do just that. With art from a specific time period featured as the centerpiece, each well-crafted interdisciplinary lesson contains everything a classroom teacher needs, including the necessary background knowledge and engaging stories to share with students, as well as experiences in language arts, math and social studies.
