Summary

While there are hundreds of textbooks that provide guidance and instruction for students of art, the fledgling college or university art teacher is often left empty-handed. The Art of Teaching Art provides guidance and training for college-level studio art instrutors who respect the classical model of drawing-based studio art instruction.

Additional text

"Rockman demystifies the process of perceptual drawing by comprehensively providing practical methods and strategies for measuring visual experience. The book includes lucid explanation of proportion, perspective, composition and metaphor to space. An excellent, clearly illustrated introduction to the teaching of the visual arts, The Art of Teaching Art is a pleasure for artists, students and teachers who are interested in the project of approaching representation of nature. In fact, the well-organized treatment and wealth of information, illustration and defining vocabulary may well become a handbook for professionals working in this arena of the visual arts." --Thomas Cornell, Professor of Art, Bowdoin College
