This book is such a wonderful resource. If you are teaching art in any school you need this book! The author provides plenty of ideas, lesson plan hints, and examples. I LOVE this book and think that you will enjoy it as much as I have!

There are not many books out there which is specifically for secondary level. A very resourceful book to have especially when you are in a sole charge department and have to teach across the different art fields at secondary level. It is also handy for those days when your mind goes blank and you have to come up with some quick exercises. Once you have gained confidence, you can also adapt them.

I have several books by Helen D. Hume. The Survival book has great ideas which are simple and Middle school children enjoy making the projects, which are not hard. There are a few challenging ones but overall they are easy to make. Some of the projects can be combine with Math or Social Studies.

As a first year teacher I bought this book to help me out with the school year. There are many good projects in here for advanced classes, such as drawing and painting, sculpture, etc. However in this day in age its really sad that half the projects I would want to do for my studio classes I can’t because they involve using knives, irons, etc. Its just to dangerous and I hate I have to think about my students stealing knives. Overall this book is great if you are able to teach advanced classes at the High School level. I would not recommend this book if you teach regular studio.
