From Booklist
With an unpretentious, open style, Saccardi shows how to make art history fun for children. Her enthusiastic hands-on guide, based on her 13 years of experience, includes storytelling about artists' lives and times, talking with the children about the art, drama and writing activities, and preparation for museum visits. Her examples range from cave paintings, illuminated manuscripts, and Renaissance art to works by Diego Rivera and Jackson Pollock. For each project, she gives the actual stories and pictures she used, possible curriculum connections, and a wealth of resources, including adult and children's books and reference materials. An great readable guide for librarian-teacher cooperation across the curriculum. Hazel Rochman

Product Review
Covering from prehistoric art to computer art, this information-packed book is filled with lessons, stories to share, and journal, art and drama activities to engage children. Each chapter includes sections devoted to standards-aligned curriculum connections and lists of annotated book selections.Curriculum Connections
When money is tight--even under the No Children Left Behind Act--art programs in elementary schools seem to become scarce. Saccardi has come to the rescue by creating a wonderful guide to art history of many cultures from around the world and by providing art activities that reflect these cultures, which can further the objectives of other parts of the curriculum.Each country begins with a story from its culture, which teachers can read to the students, followed by a cultural arts project, along with integrative activity suggestions and a bibliography of useful resources. This is a major collection of ideas for art teachers, teacher-librarians, and classroom teachers who want to enrich learning beyond the drag of drill, drill, drill. Highly recommended.Teacher Librarian
Saccardi uses her own experiences as a former elementary school and college teacher to demonstrate how to use stories to teach art history to elementary school children, from art of the ancient world to the twenty-first century. Each chapter has background on the period or artist, a story, activities such as journal writing, suggestions for integration with other areas of curriculum, and resource lists for child to adult levels. New chapters in this edition cover Middle Eastern art (which contains the previous material on Egyptian art), and other material has been revised, including the bibliography. Activities have been linked to national standards. Saccardi is currently an educational consultant. Both subject and title indexes are included.Reference & Research Book News
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Art in Story: Teaching Art History to Elementary School Children (Paperback)
This book has been a lifesaver for my art classes. The students love for me to read the stories as they are working on their art project! Which keeps them very quiet!! Never before have I seen so many great stories of so many great artist all in one book! Any art teacher will love it!!
