About the Authors
Illustrator and co-author Gwen C. Katz is a full-time artist and author. She experienced learning in a POGIL environment during high school and has illustrated three prior collections of POGIL activities. She proposed this activity collection to provide art teachers with the kind of cooperative learning, guided inquiry activities she wished her teachers had used during her own introductory art courses.
Co-author Mare Sullivan, has used POGIL strategies and activities since 2005 in grades 7–12 and in graduate teacher education courses. She has contributed to six collections of POGIL activities and has facilitated nearly 100 teacher education workshops and conference presentations across the U.S. and internationally. Not being an intuitive artist herself, Mare wishes that she could have learned the elements of art through the cooperative learning, guided inquiry framework of this collection.
