It's $15.61 on amazon: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Mona-Lisa-Prehistoric-Post-Modern/dp/0740768727" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Annotated-Mona-Lisa-Prehistoric-Post-Modern/dp/0740768727</a></p> <p>I used this in a high-school art class I taught, and it was well-received. Lots of color photos of artwork. Egyptian, pre-Columbian, and African art are featured along with Western art.</p> <p>Paperback has the advantage of cheapness but will not last as long as a hardback in a high-school classroom. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/62#post-141 Mon, 14 Apr 2008 20:03:24 +0000 MsSeattle 141@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>I will be taking on a semester-long freshman art history class next year and would like to find an interesting text for my students with a lot of pictures. I would like for the text to be manageable for students who are not interested in art history. It would also be nice if the book covers both western and non-western art. I was told that the books that I found - Discovering Art History ($64.95) and Art in Focus ($89.62) are too expensive. Any ideas? </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/44#post-99 Mon, 15 Oct 2007 16:23:18 +0000 saltyprtzl 99@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Hi,<br /> My name is Meg &#38; I am an art teacher in boston. would LOVE to do some trading cards with another school, I think that the kids at my school would love it. <a href="mailto:megsellner@yahoo.com">megsellner@yahoo.com</a> thanks so much. look forward to hearing from you?<br /> Meg </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/44#post-98 Sun, 14 Oct 2007 11:44:43 +0000 hidvine 98@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>Thanks for the replies. I teach several different art classes @ my high school, but I'm looking for a swap for my Pre-Ap Studio art 2 class (they are mostly sophomores &#38; juniors. We have 2 'tracks' at our school for art- one is the AP track &#38; then we have a 'regular' art class track. This class has the kids that are really into art &#38; are high achieving students (for the most part). There are 25 of them. I did this last year &#38; this was the structure: Each class brainstormed for a theme &#38; then we chose 2 from each class, we consolidated the 4 &#38; chose 2 themes total(does that make sense?). Each student from each class created 2 ATCs, then we took a class set &#38; sent it to the other class &#38; kept one for ourselves. Opening the package from the other class was a big thrill for the students. I'm looking for students that are at a similar level w/ my students &#38; preferably in a different region/state or country even ( I would like it to feel like a cultural exchange as well). My kids are in a suburb of Dallas /Ft. Worth, Texas. I taught in Massachusetts before Texas &#38; it IS a different culture! </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/44#post-94 Fri, 12 Oct 2007 06:43:31 +0000 marygold 94@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>i would definitely be interested in this activity. right now i have 2 sections of "art foundations" (basically intro to art elements and principles for high school students) 20 kids in one class and 22 in the other. </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/44#post-92 Fri, 05 Oct 2007 07:21:48 +0000 ryanlafemme 92@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>I'm definitely interested. . . email me at rferdinand AT innovationcharter DOT org<br /> I have two classes of 13 ninth graders.... </p> http://www.artteacherforum.com/topic/44#post-90 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 19:51:05 +0000 hidvine 90@http://www.artteacherforum.com/ <p>I am looking for high school art teachers who would be interested in doing an artist trading card swap (your class swaps with my class).
