This illustrated handbook is based on a unique approach to teaching art that has been developed by the authors and has been shown -- through research in schools -- to greatly improve the quality of children's artwork. The book presents this approach in an accessible format with clear instructions for practitioners. It provides demonstrations of how it works, practical ideas for lessons, and examples of children's artwork, together with the research evidence that it actually produces good results. This book will enable specialist and non-specialist teachers not only to give interesting and exciting lessons, but to improve the quality of their students' work.
