(4) YA Art on the Wall series. This series provides budding artists and historians with background about different movements. It also encourages direct engagement with the artwork through call-outs that demonstrate techniques (e.g., vanishing point and orthogonals labeled on a Renaissance painting) and "Try it yourself" projects. Though the overly busy design and off-kilter placement of the reproductions are distracting, the series offers lots of solid information. Reading list, timeline, websites. Glos., ind. Review covers these Art on the Wall titles: Impressionism, Post-Impressionism, Surrealism, Abstract Expressionism, Pop Art, and The Renaissance.
