Navigating the Arts delves into the visual elements and principles of design throughout art history and is tailored for classroom use. It aims to deepen students’ understanding of these concepts and their application across different artistic forms, fostering critical thinking and visual literacy. The accessible language, logical structure, clear objectives, and wealth of examples and images make this journal an ideal tool for everyone interested in developing class discussions on how to understand and interpret images.
