These dynamic teaching ideas and projects will stimulate interest in a range of media—and motivate students to find highly individual solutions to visual problems. Place everyday objects in new, eye-opening contexts; increase skills; challenge young artists to reflect on their place in the world; and encourage teamwork.

Wonderful Art ThinkerMay 12, 2007 The author has written some of the best art education books I've ever read- this will not disappoint.
A great find for any secondary art teacher.November 5, 2006 This book is full of wonderful lesson plans as well as ideas to create compelling lessons yourself. My students have found much sucess with Ken Vieth's projects. His motivation is wonderful and really simplfies the process for delivering the lessons. He has a keen insight into the secondary student's mind and how to create an interest in extraordinary artwork.
