Composed of over 60 lessons, this book covers a broad range of visual art creation. Students learn about and use the tools needed to produce works of art in various styles and techniques. They prepare portfolios of their best works and learn how to analyze and reflect on works of art. The lessons are grouped into ten areas of study, beginning with color theory. After lessons on mixing the color wheel, complements and tints, tones and shades, lessons proceed to the study of the elements and principles of art. The exploration of drawing techniques follows. Most of the two- and three-dimensional areas integrate art history with art creation. Eleven movements of art and 27 artists and their work are introduced and discussed. There are 22 types of art media included as well. Each area contains objectives, overviews, lessons, suggested supplies needed, media used, artist information, other support materials needed and grading rubrics. California visual art standards are addressed in each area and are listed by area in the appendix of the book. Supplemental color materials are available at www.svisualart.com for online viewing or free download, completing all that is needed to teach the lessons. www.sVisualArt.com www.sVisualArt.com Review: Awesome Resource - Visual Art for the Secondary grades is by far the best text I have come across for my art classes. I struggled for a few years until stumbling (fortunately) on this book. It is concise, yet filled with web resources that provide a solid high school art curriculum. Gone are all the long, boring pages of art history that have little to do with the practical aspects of art. I recommend this to all other art teachers looking for a fresh and new art approach for their students. Review: Excellent Book - Excellent lesson plans that can be modified for any grade level. Colorful photos, user friendly. I recommend this art book.

Not impressed with this book. It has a bunch of worksheets and elementary looking paint mixing charts. The lessons have no pictures and are so detailed and lengthy that you would have to sit down and "read" it like a novel to get any ideas from it. Only but this if you are interested in paperwork for your students rather than artwork.

www.svisualart.com- not working?!
I bought this book to use in my classroom. I received the book and was very pleased; however, when I started to create lesson plans I tried to access the web page: www.svisualart.com- and it is not working?! I wanted to give it 5 stars. I wonder what is wrong with the web page?

what did I pay for...?!?!?!
I would like some kind of refund...now. This book is not in colour and I didn't see anywhere that it supposed to be in black & white..it's an art book costing over £10.00!!!!!!! What on earth is this utter nonsense!!! I needed this as my school doesn't have internet and don't allow staff to use internet or phones in class. This was important. I'm glad the book has worksheets but I'm not happy about the black and white I need a partial refund as it's a COMPLETE RIP OFF TO charge this much for an art book...WITH NO COLOUR what did I pay for...

I was disappointed with the content, I thought it contained ideas of activities and would be illustrated.
