This includes art instructors from pre-school through university, classroom teachers, home-schoolers, professional artists, museum professionals, and university students. A revision is both painful and joyful. It is painful to have to eliminate favorite lists to make way for new ones, but joyful to research and write the new ones. All lists have been researched and updated, and many of the original lists are merged with others in a new format. And . more than one hundred new lists have been added. So enjoy! But if you have the original Art Teacher’s Book of Lists, don’t throw it away. Teachers need information about writing art lesson plans, sometimes incorporating other subject matter within the art lessons, yet keeping in mind that art has its own curriculum. At the elementary level in many districts, the classroom teacher is the art teacher. New to the book are projects that combine Art with Science, Math, Language Arts, and Social Studies. Lists such as “Fiber Arts Projects” and “Book Arts Projects” have been added to comply with statewide Grade Level Expectations and The National Art Standards. Included are lists “Websites Especially for the Art Teacher” and other website addresses for institutions such as museums, universities, and vendors, whose web addresses are not likely to change. Worldwide cultural timelines have been added, as well as lists on religious and secular holidays in other cultures, “Universal Symbols,” and “Body Art.” A greater emphasis on artists and institutions from cultures around the world is recognition that the population of the United States is increasingly diverse, and that this book is sold in other countries. The book is divided into twelve chapters, with “Basic Information for the Art Teacher” at the beginning, and in Chapter 11, “Art Projects.” Most of these lists have been completely transformed, or are new to the book. One real benefit from the Internet is the instant access for both teacher and student to visible information about artists and their artwork, as well as international cultures. More than ever before, art is used to encour- age students to become more involved with social change as they learn more about other cultures, their envi- ronment, and their own futures. Teaching art is a constantly evolving field, even though the experienced teacher knows that there is really nothing new in art—just new and exciting ways to help students find the joy . the fun . that comes from creative problem solving. v ABOUT THE AUTHOR Helen D. Hume is an art educator, artist, and author, who has taught students from kindergarten through uni- versity level in St. Louis, Missouri. She spent most of her career in the Parkway School District and instructed and supervised pre-service teachers at Webster University, Florissant Valley Community College, and Font- bonne University. Her degrees are from Webster University. She lived overseas and taught for many years at international schools in Belgium and Brazil, where her husband’s business took him. As an artist, Helen specializes in plein-air oil painting, photography, printmaking, and computer graph- ics, participating in many juried shows. She is an exhibiting, prize-winning distinguished member (signifying acceptance in over forty-five juried exhibitions) of the St. Louis Artist’s Guild. This is her eighth book for artists and art educators. The others are The Art Teacher’s Survival Guide, Elementary and Middle School (2nd ed.); Art Lover’s Almanac; A Survival Kit for the Elementary/Middle School Art Teacher; The Art Teacher’s Book of Lists; American Art History and Appreciation Activities Kit; Art History & Appreciation Activities Kit; and A Survival Kit for the Secondary School Art Teacher. vi ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book exists because of the generosity of friends who are artists and teachers. They cheerfully answer my questions about how they approach teaching of a certain subject and how they do personal artwork. My summer teaching experience at the Tennessee Arts Academy made new friends of extraordinary art educa- tors Daryle Grenead, Billie Shelburn, Debi West, and Roger Smith, and art educators from all over the state of Tennessee. Other artist-educators whose input has been invaluable are Joan Larson, Margaret Peeno, Linda Packard, Beth Goyer, Marilynne Bradley, Michael Swoboda, Bill Vann, Steve Williams, John Baker, Clare Grosgebauer of the National Art Education Association, Susan Rodriguez, and Dr. E. Louis Lankford of the Saint Louis Art Museum and the University of Missouri, St. Louis. I’m eternally grateful to family and friends who keep me laughing as we socialize, and who listen, as I work through the book-writing process. My husband Jack, painting partner and friend, my sister LuWayne Younghans, Susan Hume, Carla Hume, Cindy Kunz, and Laurie Wilson are especially appreciated.
