Brooks, Susan W.; Senatori, Susan M.
This handbook gives guidelines for setting up an elementary level art appreciation program. The program encourages involvement by staff and parent volunteers, resource persons and presenters and utilizes commercially produced art reproductions. Sample art reproduction selections and schedules are given. An art vocabulary and a time line of world history and art sample program evaluations are included. Guidelines for questions and projects are provided for topics: (1) "Real versus Unreal"; (2) "Museum"; (3) "Art Reproduction"; (4) "Portrait"; (5) "Still Life"; (6) "Landscape/Seascape"; (7) "Abstract Art"; (8) "Surrealism"; (9) "Cubism"; (10) "Lines/Shapes/Patterns"; (11) "Movement"; (12) "Light Source/Shade"; (13) "Perspective"; (14) "Texture/Brush Stroke/Technique"; (15) "Color"; (16) "Style"; and (17) "Information About Artists." Resource and reference selections, an Art Appreciation Inventory, a bibliography, a program Flow Sheet, and sample charts and worksheets proved practical information. (MM)
