Detailed step-by-step instructions for putting together over 80 simple and interesting projects that teach basic art concepts and techniques to elementary students. Projects are coded by grade level.

Projects include instructions, illustrations, and ready-to-use patterns for students, as well as information for teachers on preparing for the lesson, helping students understand the concepts presented, and enriching the experience with connections to other disciplines .

Sections include design activities, seasonal activities, and holiday activities, giving the art teacher a year's supply of interesting projects.
