It presents 5 themes that can be used for art-based projects on topics like bullying, hope, and war/peace. It also introduces several visual thinking routines that use open-ended questions to help students analyze and discuss artworks more deeply, including routines focused on noticing details, making inferences, and considering different perspectives.
