Artistic Pursuits-High School Book One

by Brenda Ellis Author, Ariel Dewitt and Daniel D. Ellis Editor, Daniel D. Ellis and Brenda Ellis Illustrator

The Elements of Art and Composition- This book provides high school students with an in-depth look at the elements of art and composition through a comprehensive text designed to engage them in the creative process as they produce original drawings using graded pencils and charcoal. High school students can begin this book without prior knowledge of art and work independently without the need for parental instruction. The organized content and conversational tone is equally engaging for both the novice and the more experienced art student. Students learn how to see the world like an artist as they are introduced to topics such as space, line, texture, and value. Each unit is crafted for focus on one art element while exploring the topic in four unique ways.
