Pocket-size Art Handbooks make good reference guides for art teachers and students. They are heavily illustrated in color and filled with descriptions, technical details, and instructional information. Titles are color-coded in four categories, according to the general topics they treat. Colored Pencils is the newest title in the Purple Series, which illustrate and explain art media and techniques. Students learn to use pencils to sketch, blend colors, and include in mixed-media artworks.
