    >Dear Art friends:
    >It's budget time again and I have an opportunity to purchase new curriculum
    >materials. Can anyone recommend a good source for teaching art history? I
    >teach 9th-12th grade in the same class. I have 3 intro classes and 3 studio
    >classes.
    >Is anyone currently using textbooks in the classroom? Magazines?
    >Thanks for your help.
    >Peace

    >We have used the Scholastic "Scholastic Art" mags for several years with
    >success. The readings are short & focused, avg 9th grade reading level,
    >and include work each month from a Scholastic award winning student. We
    >also use the old standard - 2 X 2 slides. I'm hoping to be able to
    >transfer these to CD, but we keep buying them, because it gives us a good
    >way to show single images. Art history is not only important - it is
    >powerful for leading students to understanding and quality work. Dennis
