By John Howell White
The Experience Painting curriculum offers a wide-ranging view of painting’s diverse media, tools, and processes, including encaustics, street art, and nontraditional approaches that will inspire teachers and students alike. Dazzling fine art accompanies the clear, practical text; hands-on studio experiences with step-by-step photographs allow students to build skills sequentially and invite experimentation. Teacher material supports inquiry-based practice and connections to other subject areas.
