A Journey of Discovery and Skill

The Visual Arts Workbook equips readers with a foundational understanding of basic concepts in art. It also underscores the significant role art plays in our everyday lives, namely as a mode of visual communication and creative expression.

The workbook is designed to facilitate readers’ connection with their existing creative practices. It encourages experimentation, challenging readers to explore their aptitude for visual communication and better understand how visual expression creates a message.

Each chapter consists of activities that relate to various art concepts, including the language of art, responding to art, traditional materials and techniques (such as printmaking, architecture, sculpture, and painting), new technologies (such as photography and film), and art appreciation. Readers are encouraged to search for examples of art in their lives, practice key skillsets, and reflect on their experiences creating art.

The Visual Arts Workbook assists readers in effectively conveying their ideas, identifying their artistic tastes, and cultivating a heightened appreciation for artistic and cultural communication. It is an ideal resource for courses and programs in art appreciation or for any individual seeking a structured yet playful tool for creating art.
