Jane Castillo: Line
My book has arrived! This is part one of seven books from Jane Castillo’s ongoing “Seven Elements of Art” series.
“An extremely infectious visual arts narrative that is certain to excite youth, educators, and artists. You can not help from lovin’ it.”
—John Outterbridge, Artist, Educator, Arts Administrator
“Castillo’s series on understanding the essentials of art is an indispensable kit of knowledge for everyone involved with the arts, from the art maker, to the museum goer, to the classroom teacher, to the home-schooler. Castillo fills an educational gap in a beautifully useful and inspiring way.
—Dr. Jeanne S.M. Willette, Art Historian, Otis College of Art and Design
