ABSTRACT
This book is for students who are training to be primary teachers and those classroom teachers who lack experience, or who are not greatly skilled, in teaching art. Students on one-year postgraduate teacher education courses have to adapt quickly to more generalized ways of learning that are quite different from their in-depth degree studies, while having to come to terms with a child-centred learning orientation covering curriculum planning, teaching-learning philosophies and classroom strategies as well as the interrelationship of subject areas across the broad primary curriculum. This can be a confusing and daunting task-albeit an exciting and rewarding one-which is given a sense of reality in periods of practical teaching out in the schools.
