His book features diagrams that illustrate every concept. Students will see the complexities of color theory and understand how to create the illusion of volume and depth on a 2-dimensional surface. \"As an art student,\" Professor Mantle recalls, \"I was frequently frustrated by instructional books that gave lengthy verbal descriptions of visual concepts and then showed small and\/or unclear diagrams of those concepts. As an art teacher, I found that my students would gain a clearer understanding of a visual concept if my verbal explanation was combined with a diagram of that concept.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Visual Guide to Classical Art Theory \u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eis great for both traditional and non-traditional media.
