Bonnie E. Snow

d. 1925

Best known for early 20th-century art education books, this writer helped turn drawing and color study into something practical, thoughtful, and enjoyable for everyday learners. Her work still feels clear and hands-on more than a century later.

About the author

Bonnie E. Snow was an American author and educator known for books on art instruction and color study in the early 1900s. Library and catalog records connect her with the Text Books of Art Education series, created with Hugo B. Froehlich and published by The Prang Educational Company in 1904.

She is also credited as co-author of The Theory and Practice of Color, a Prang title published in 1918, with later editions appearing in 1920. The surviving records suggest that her work focused on making art principles usable in schools and in everyday life, especially through clear lessons in drawing, design, and color.

The death date often attached to her name in catalog records is 1925, but I did not find enough reliable biographical detail in the sources reviewed to say much more confidently about her life beyond her publications and teaching interests.
