The book draws on the author's experiences teaching art history at the middle school level. While the textbook is intended for general education, the author emphasizes how art history provides an excellent context for an introduction to art education at the middle school level.The book is divided into three parts. The first part, “Exploring Ideas,” reviews important aspects of art, examines key ideas of art, and discusses related topics and issues. The second part, “Using the Subject,” explores visual representation through art history, and includes discussion of important artists and art movements. The third part, “Looking for More,” covers art, science, history, and literature.A review of The Art History Curriculum, as well as The Art History Curriculum Teacher's Guide, can be found at the web page, “Telling Students about the Art World.” (Note: This site contains advertisements that may be of interest to art educators.)The author's articlesThe author's writing has appeared in a variety of journals.

What is most important for me is to have given my students the knowledge that is absolutely essential in order to appreciate and understand all art, whether art is taught or not. I hope that what I have offered my students is worth the effort it has taken to keep those goals in mind." --The Teacher's Journal,
