Geography Through Art is a fun
book that encourages your students
to enjoy art from all over the world. This book
literally has something for everyone, grades
K-12 - one of those books you’ll keep on the
shelf to use year after year. Included are such
projects as Russian mosaics, Polish paper
cutting, Indian batik, Australian didgeridoos,
stained glass windows, Pennsylvania Dutch
fraktur, pencil drawings (with step by step instructions),
water color, paper mache, sculpting, weaving, wood carving,
arts and crafts, and more! Every project comes with easy-tofollow
directions, a materials list, and a cultural connection.
Also included are sketches of famous artists, and artistic and
architectural masterpieces. There are even reproducible maps and
templates! That’s not all! Many of the projects are keyed to Eat
Your Way Around the World (with an icon on the corner of the
page) so you can be cooking and doing art with your kids while
studying world history and culture! The book is also internet
linked for even more study and ideas! Now, I have to admit that
I haven’t used this book yet, because I just “found it,” but it is
on my list for the next school year. Don’t hesitate to email me
during the 2009-2010 school year to see how it’s gone!
