Edit: The Winner has been selected! Congratulations to Kim Colasante!
Scholastic Art magazine sent me samples of last year's issues to review. I was somewhat familiar with the magazine as it seems every year I get a sample issue in the mail and I have a file cabinet drawer of back issues from the previous teacher, but I'd honestly never taken the time to actually read the magazine and see what it was all about.
I was a pleasantly surprised at everything included in the issues. I had assumed that it was basically a couple about on whatever was on the cover and now I feel silly for not having checked it out before!
The issues are organized by artist or theme- How to Read Art, The Art of the Campaign, Edward Hopper, Objects from World Cultures, Ansel Adams, and Painting Right Now were last year's topics.

I really wish I'd had the Art of the Campaign issue last year! It would have been a perfect supplement to the lesson I presented on campaign posters and honestly would have saved me a lot of work since I spent time collecting some of the very same images that they included.
Ways to use Scholastic Art magazine...
- Read the magazine on a regularly scheduled day worked into your month's lesson plans
- Save the issues until it correlates with a theme
- Use it for a substitute plan

Scholastic art magazine is a well-rounded resource to use in the art classroom and it is comprised of standards, ele. of art/prin. of design, art history, contemporary art and student art. I just wish that for 35+ copies it could be more affordable. Thank you, Ms. Morris, for this opportunity!

ReplyDeleteI love how well organized the discussion topics, the projects, the artist information and the teacher inserts including a 4th - 6th grade teaching guide insert inclusive this worthwhile magazine is! Student copies are bold and inviting as well. One month typically focuses on two main ideas throughout the vivid, informative magazine. Thanks for the opportunity to enter!
