Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| The chronological selection, the description of technique, and the glossary make this beautiful book useful for teaching. Learners may be interested in exploring the author's assumptions about what particular painting techniques mean. The book is somewhat long and without real continuity, so small group work might be effective. Each group could take one painting (and artist) to introduce to the class. Together, the class could keep a chart: painter, date, characteristics. When finished the class could use the chart to generalize about how painting techniques have changed over the years. | |||||||||
