The Yellow Art Book is open
Welcome! I'm Emma Jane, an art teacher, and The Yellow Art Book is the resource I always wished I'd had: ready-to-teach MYP Visual Arts lessons that help students look closely, think like artists and find the words to talk about what they see.
Start free: your Starter Pack
Sign up as a free member with just your email, and you'll get:
- Elements of Art flashcards: seven printable cards for line, shape, form, space, colour, value and texture.
