Synopsis

With its emphasis on visual problem solving, creative thinking, and co-operative projects, this book offers the art teacher an opportunity to incorporate a variety of stimulating and meaningful new studio experiences into the curriculum. Developed with the secondary teacher in mind, more than 35 design problems encourage higher level thinking and increased technical proficiency. At the same time these design problems provide explorations in meaning that touch upon subjects such as self, family, and community. The fusion of visual problem solving, creative solutions, and self-expression moves student artwork beyond ordinary to extraordinary.
