To family members and friends, still here, or gone forever, my gratitude to all for both input and putting up with me when I'm in the midst of whatever has, at the time, interested me most
Helen Hume

To my husband, John Palmer, and my daughters, Lauren Schaefer and Lindsey Vernon, for their unfailing support and encouragement with all the endeavors of my life
Marilyn Palmer

Helen Hume is a retired art educator who has taught art at all levels, including pre-service teachers at Florissant Valley Community College, and has supervised practice teachers in art for Webster University and Fontbonne University. She also taught in international schools in So Jos dos Campos (Brazil) and Antwerp (Belgium), where her husband's work took them.

She is an active, exhibiting member of the St. Louis Artists Guild, and former editor of Keynotes, the Symphony's Volunteer Association's newsletter. She currently serves as photographer on the Picture the Music Committee of the St. Louis Symphony Volunteer Association. Hume is a plein-air oil painter and teaches painting in a sheltered workshop for adults. She has been a member of the National Art Education Association since the beginning of her art education career and was honored as Missouri's Higher Art Educator of the Year. She is the author of books such as The Art Teacher's Book of Lists and The Art Teacher's Survival Guide for Elementary and Middle Schools, Third Edition, which, co-authored with Marilyn Palmer, is her tenth book for artists and art educators.

Marilyn Palmer was an art educator for 34 years in Parkway School District, St. Louis County, Missouri. She taught art classes at the elementary level for 17 years. Her Master's thesis book, titled A Multicultural and Historical Art Curriculum Guide for Grades K6, led to her teaching Cultural Connections as an art teacher for 2 years at a middle school. She later taught various art classes, including Computer Graphics and Ceramics in high school, where she also served as Department Chair and Regional Visual Arts Leader. Her travel experiences with art students at the secondary level include both domestic and international trips, such as to Italy, Spain, Greece/Grecian Islands, and England.

Within her classes, she taught many children of special needs as well as students who were identified as gifted in art. Marilyn was a consultant for The Art Teacher's Survival Guide for Secondary Schools by Helen Hume. She has also been a judge for Saint Louis Symphony's Picture the Music Competition, and currently teaches at Art Unleashed, where she offers classes to high school students as well as adults.

The authors are grateful to the people who taught usour professors, fellow artists, museum professionals, other authors, and our students. We've learned from all of them. They are generous with ideas and love to help everyone learn. Often being told how to do something is just the beginning for students, who take it from there and go on to the next stepand do something which we teachers might not have considered!

Art teachers whose generous input was especially appreciated were consultants Lauren Schaefer and Linda Sachs. Lauren suggested changes from the Second Edition of the book and contributed several new projects to this Third Edition. TAB teacher Linda Sachs generously allowed the authors to observe her art studio classroom in action.
