These are engaging art history texts for middle school.

The Mona Lisa book is specifically geared toward passing the Advanced Placement art history exam.

Consider home learning...

...so your middle schooler can stop:
Breaking up the day into learning time and play time.
Shifting topics according to an externally-imposed schedule.
Being told what to care about and when to care about it.
Being told what is good enough.
Being part of a hierarchy with students at the bottom.
Having to supply "acceptable" excuses for absence or lateness.
Standing in lines, waiting for everything: food, water, attention of the teacher, time on the computer, etc.
Having individual gifts or problems neglected.
Moving at the sound of a bell.
Being segregated by chronological age.
Being separated from the family.
Feeling isolated from the working world.
Experiencing schedule rigidity--who wants to miss the World Series? Or the lunar eclipse because you have to get up early?

The natural curiosity of a healthy child, given access to a rich environment, will lead the child to learn what he or she needs to know. Eric Anderson
