Advanced Art Student's Workbook: Choice Based Historical Approach to Art Education

By Eric Gibbons and Eric J Gibbons

This book 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 classes, and AP Studio Art. (High School) The TEACHER's Edition contains 20 performance based benchmark exams and permission to make copies for students, titled "Advanced Art Teacher's Workbook."Students are guided to explore thirteen major historical movements from the Renaissance (1400s) through contemporary Pop Art. They gain an understanding of each era's mindset, methods, and themes, to create their own personal works of art inspired by these explorations. The workbook is meant to be written in and becomes a journal and portfolio of personal exploration and study. Assessments, progress checks, and grading rubrics are contained, as well as supplemental information students will find helpful as they explore perspective, figure proportions, media expectations, and timelines.Created and written by Eric Gibbons, award winning art educator in New Jersey, he is the author of dozens of art education books and articles for Firehouse Publications. With more than 25 years of classroom experience, his resources are all tested in a public school setting, and used by teachers around the world. His blog, Art Ed Guru, is visited by thousands daily.
