4.0 out of 5 stars Elementary art project, June 18, 2003

This review is from: Desert Skin (Paperback)

I've been using the photos in this book with elementary art students for several years. We do value studies with black and white tempera paints, looking for the progression of values, and nature's shapes, patterns and textures (like rippling and branching). Then we compare our paintings with some by Georgia O'Keeffe and other artists. While I've never actually read the text, the photos have been a good springboard for discussions of aerial perspective, and erosion by wind and water, too.
