Navah, Jan – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012

This alternative allows students to "build" robots in a different way,…

Sands, Ian – SchoolArts: The Art Education Magazine for Teachers, 2012
To the general public, the topic of art education conjures up images of pencil drawings and tempera paint.

Egenes, Barbara – Arts & Activities, 2011
Louise Nevelson's circular assemblage, "Collegiate School" (1972), was the inspiration for an art class with the preschoolers at the Kent Children's Center.
