Art teachers, students,

classroom teachers

welcome to a web site of

resources  created for

you, the educator, to use

in your teaching

​program.

 My name is Jeanette Wachtman. I have for over thirty years been an art educator, artist and author.   I retired in 2008 as an elementary art educator. Presently, I teach at Kennesaw State University, Kennesaw, Georgia in the School of Art and Design.   Recently, I was presented with KSU's College of Arts, 2016 Outstanding Part-Time Faculty Award.  
Throughout my years as an educator,  I have presented the content in these pages at state, national, international conferences and  various teaching institutions.
​I wish to share these resources in the hope that educators find value of integrating these educational concepts and content within their
teaching.  This site includes:
Art Curricula, PowerPoint Presentations,
Visual Resources and  Student Art Work. Contact: rajean@tds.net

The workbook, Art for the Elementary

Educator, is an excellent resource for

education and art majors at the college level,

current art and classroom teachers, and
  
home-schooled students. It encompasses art

education concepts and ideas with strategies

for writing integrated lessons for grades

kindergarten through fifth grade.


This workbook is not the ‘traditional’

academic textbook. It is written as an

engaging narrative with a fictitious principal,

art teacher and classroom teachers.  It

chronicles twenty school days with examples

of integrated lessons, student artwork, art

techniques and origi­nal rhymes as a teaching

tool.

 
​The book’s interactive feature contains art

pages for displaying photos of student

artwork, art assignments and directions for

the teacher to dabble in art making. The

majority of articles and activities speaks to

creativity, art styles, art criticism, art history,

lesson planning, a thematic approach to study

cultures, addresses stages of children’s art

and features a copious amount of children’s

artwork .
