Reading Pictures: Self Teaching Activities In Art

This book contains exercises that are designed to be self-teaching, allowing middle school or older students to learn to "read" works of art and discover the meaning of style, the significance of content, and the many different elements that make up a work of art.

Included in the book are nearly 100 examples of art from all parts of the world. The questions refer directly to the pictures, and no additional materials are needed. Exercises are intended to allow the students to freely express their reactions while learning. Some of the questions conclude by asking the students to create their own work.
