Rubin, S. G. (2004). Art Against the Odds: From Slave Quilts to Prison Paintings. New York: Crown Publishers. I like this book because it so different than the traditional stories of western art painting and drawing. This book explains and shows different ways that a lot of self-taught artists created artwork. The book shows how troubled individuals used art to help themselves and others. I think a lot of students can relate to this book at some point. I would use this book in an Art History class to show the various types of people who create art. This book is geared for middle school and high school students.
