The Advanced Art Student’s Workbook

Grades 3-6.

By Eric Gibbons. Offers a novel, choice-based approach to art education for students who have advanced beyond introductory courses and have expressed an interest in digging deeper into fine art. This fills in the gap between those introductory courses and AP® Studio Art (high school). Students are guided to explore 13 major historical movements from the Renaissance (1400’s) through contemporary Pop Art. They gain an understanding of each era’s mind-set, methods, and themes to create their own personal works of art inspired by these explorations. The workbook, meant to be written in, becomes a journal and portfolio of personal exploration and study. It contains assessments, progress checks, and grading rubrics, as well as supplemental information students will find helpful as they explore perspective, figure proportions, media expectations, and time lines. 204 pages.
