This handbook contains a wide variety of material which has been compiled into one publication as an easy reference for the art teacher. It will be particularly valuable to the new teacher and to the college student preparing for a career in art education. Though much of the handbook is relevant only to New York State, other sections are of general application. Included in the publication are sections dealing with services available from the New York Bureau of Art Education, the visual arts programs in New York schools, certification requirements, New York colleges with approved and registered art education programs, awards, and fellowships available to the art teacher, New York locations of BOCES communication centers, art museums, galleries, and historical landmarks related to the visual arts, a bibliography of art and art education books, and a complete directory of producers and distributors of visual materials for the art teacher.
