Thanks to all of the folks (on and off list) who responded to my text question. It seems that "Emphasis Art" by Frank Wachowiak is the popular favorite on this list! I truly appreciate your input. I think the 7th edition is the latest revision.

Subject: Re: Text for Elementary Education Majors
There is a book called "Emphasis Art" that I think is wonderful. It is
written by an elementary art teacher. It is a very old book, but I have
used it alot, even in high school. I don't know who the author is. I
could look at home and try to find out for you.

I am looking for a new art education text to use with my Elementary Ed.
majors. I have found that the texts designed for future art teachers do
not always work with those folks going into elementary education.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Thank you for your reference to Emphasis Art....that was my
"bible' for
learning how to teach almost 25 years ago....a GREAT book. I
passed
that book off to our new rookie art teacher last year. It's a
fabulous
reference for benchmark artwork, media tips, project ideas,
developmental levels, classroom management...everything you need
to get
started as a new teacher. And it is a classic. It never goes
out of
style. Don't miss the still life collages by 2nd grade, in
particular,
2-2's collection. Look for Christie's little made up still life
that has
a purse, a candle, and some flowers on her printed tablecloth.
Quite
the romantic for only being 7, lol, and it is stunning. There
are a lot
of really great ones in there. The 3rd still life was from
observation,
the 2nd still life was from imagination, kind of Eric Carle
style.
