I think Alan Zinn may have recommended this book to us on more than one
occasion ;o)  One day I'll visit a library and see if I can browse it: new
it costs just too much!!!

1) From an educational standpoint (based on what you have learned from the
book) I'm interested in how you would expect your students to review the
12 disparate images in our own PF gallery?
http://www.rit.edu/~andpph/gallery.html

2) How long would it take?
(could they satisfactorily cover all 12 in an hour?)
Is it even possible without understanding *why* the author has placed the
picture there?

3) Is there any "one size fits all" method of looking at / reviewing images?
 To me there's a gulf between the "supportive" (find something positive
no matter what) stance of a teacher with a class of beginners and an art
critic working for a national daily ;o)
