Art Education in
Practice Series
Davis Publications, Inc.
The Art Education in Practice series transforms edu-
cation research and theory into practical classroom
strategies. Take it from series editor, Marilyn G.
Stewart: “I know that art teachers are very busy,
but I also know that they want to stay on top of
issues and developments in our field. The Art Edu-
cation in Practice Series was designed especially for
these dedicated individuals. I am so pleased when
teachers tell me how much they love the books.”

Waxmelter Batik Pen
Twisteez
Developed by art
teachers, the
Waxmelter Batik
Pen is an electric
“tjanting” that
makes batik or
encaustic art a
simple and pleasur-
able experience. A few
chips of wax (any type, including crayon) will go
a long way. Draw fine lines on cloth, eggs, wood,
paper, or canvas. A simple valve prevents dripping
and can be removed to allow free flow of wax. Do
away with the melting pot! Treat yourself to the
Waxmelter Batik Pen. You will love it! UL approved.
