Objects of American Art Education: Highlights from the Diana Korzenik Collection
Editorial Reviews Book Description Objects of American Art Education explores the array of interests that inspired Diana Korzenik to form a collection of art-teaching materials dating from 1770 to 1950-the richest and most extensive archive of its kind. In the course of gathering these materials Korzenik traced the methods and materials used to teach artists and amateurs to draw and to see the world around them. The illustrations featured in the book provide an extensive sampling of these materials, depicting drawing books, cards, and three-dimensional teaching aids.
