The guide is intended to help teachers and administrators evaluate secondary level art programs and establish new programs. Two major sections outline a junior high/middle school program and a senior high school program. Each section includes a brief analysis of the developmental stages of early and maturing adolescents; objectives; a course outline chart which relates the major arts areas to concepts, materials, and techniques; suggested procedures and approaches for each of the areas; art for the talented and handicapped; and evaluation criteria. The major art areas are design, drawing, painting, printmaking, sculpture, crafts, photography and filmmaking, and art appreciation. The appendix includes suggestions for exhibiting student work, entering competitions, and planning an art room. Floor plans for art rooms, terminology that students should understand, a bibliography which lists books according to the major art area, and sources of audiovisual materials are also included. (KC)
