Biography
Rob Barnes is an artist printmaker who was previously Senior Lecturer in Education at the University of East Anglia, Norwich.
"Rob Barnes [is one of] the best authors on the subject of art education" – Peter Moore, Associate Lecturer (SL) Liverpool Hope University
"Barnes' own enthusiasm for and belief in his subject, interspersed with teachers' comments, a large number of practical teaching suggestions and well-chosen colour plates of children's work, makes the book an engaging and worthwhile read." - Jane Bower, Early Years
"This is an excellent publication. It addresses the problems of teaching in all the main craft areas and deals with important issues such as why art should be on the curriculum, classroom organisation, talking with children and assessment and evaluation" - International Journal of Early Years Education
"Reaching a third edition is always testament to the value and reception of a book and this is a tried and tested text that teachers have valued. Both practising teachers and student teachers will find the range of ideas will give inspiration for the classroom and the clear presentation will help even the less-artistic to have confidence in their teaching." – Parents in Touch
