Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Art history encompasses the study of the history and development of painting, sculpture and the other visual arts. In this Very Short Introduction, Dana Arnold presents an introduction to the issues, debates, and artefacts that make up art history. Beginning with a consideration of what art history is, she explains what makes the subject distinctive from other fields of study, and also explores the emergence of social histories of art (such as Feminist Art History and Queer Art History). Using a wide range of images, she goes on to explore key aspects of the discipline including how we write, present, read, and look at art, and the impact this has on our understanding of art history. This second edition includes a new chapter on global art histories, considering how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles in art originated in western art and can obscure other critical approaches and artwork from non-western cultures. Arnold also discusses the relationship between art and history, and the ways in which art can tell a different history from the one narrated by texts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary History of Art: An Introduction to Ancient and Modern Architecture, Sculpture, Painting, Music Now that the importance of Art as a means of intellectual culture is at last becoming recognised in England, the want of a simple Introductory Text-book is felt by all engaged in education. To supply this want the present volume has been compiled. The framework and the greater number of the illustrations are borrowed, with the permission of the publishers, from a small "Guide to the History of Art" which has long been in use in German schools; but this framework has been filled in by reference to standard English, German, and French authorities, and each division of the book has been supplemented by a chapter on Art in England. A glossary of the principal technical terms employed has been added; and if the "Elementary History" awake an interest in Art, and teach young people to recognise and appreciate beauty under whatever form it is presented to the senses, the aim of the writer will be fulfilled.

Download or read book ARTistic Pursuits Early Elementary K 3 Book One written by Brenda Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2013-01-28 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is sure to delight young children with over 185 colorful illustrations and great Master paintings. Lessons capture each child's interests and imagination while introducing the fundamental principles of the visual arts. Parents read a simple ten-minute lesson with their child that includes art appreciation. The topic is pointed out in a full – color work of art by well-known Masters like Rivera, Chagall, De Hooch, Van Gogh and more. This time is followed with a project that allows children to immediately apply their new knowledge of the subject, while creating works of art from their own experiences and observations, making each piece produced personal and unique. The first section covers the activities artists engage in when making art (composing, imagining, looking, etc.,) how to use the materials of an artist (watercolor crayons, pastels, pencil), and the various types of subjects artists work from (landscapes, people, still-life, etc.) Activities broaden children’s awareness of the world they live in. The second section of the book covers the elements that artists use in two-dimensional and three-dimensional work such as shape, form, line, and color. The third section is a comprehensive study of ancient art as children are introduced to different kinds of art that we see such as art in caves, pyramids, cathedrals, and more. This section covers early cave paintings and figurines from Jordon to tapestries and book illumination of the Middle Ages. Children's ideas about art are greatly expanded as they learn how ancient cultures used art. The hands-on projects help them remember what materials the culture used or the major ideas of the culture. This book provides lessons for the completion of thirty-six finished drawings, paintings, and sculptures that are both original and wholly the child’s own. “The instruction is so well-suited to the book’s audience of kindergarten to 3rd graders. Mrs. Ellis uses a conversational style of writing that is so appealing to younger children, yet her curriculum never “talks down” to them nor does it go over their heads!” - Homeschool Parent – Jenny Thompson / Florida

Download or read book An Elementary History of Art written by N. D'anvers and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-23 with total page 696 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary History of Art: Architecture, Sculpture, Painting A Third edition of the 'Elementary History of Art' having been called for, the information has been carefully brought down to date, and many additions have been made where they seemed to be rendered necessary by recent discoveries. A considerable number of new illustrations have also been added in all the divisions of Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting. The favourable reception given to the 'Elementary History of Art,' both in England and America, is a great gratification to the author, who wishes, however, once more to dwell on the fact that the present volume does not claim to contain any original criticism, but is merely meant to serve as an introduction to more learned works by men who have given their lives to the study of one or another phase of art-development. The 'Elementary History,' as its name implies, is a mere outline of the fascinating story of the gradual growth first of one and then another style of architecture, sculpture, and painting, with the opinions on those styles of the earnest students of the past and present. To deal exhaustively with but one of the problems presented by the art of the past would need a lifetime of study, and the author of the 'Elementary History of Art' has but extracted for the use of beginners the pith of those writings which have been accepted as standard works by the best critics of the nineteenth century.

The book includes the essential information presented in an introductory art history course--visual elements, principles of design, style, media, and historical context--in a compelling format that encourages critical thinking and multicultural visual literacy. Students learn not only the parts of art, but also develop a deeper understanding of art's power to communicate on multiple levels--universal, cultural, and personal.

Download or read book Art History A Very Short Introduction written by Dana Arnold and published by OUP Oxford. This book was released on 2004-01-22 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This clear and concise new introduction examines all the major debates and issues using a wide range of well-known examples. It discusses the challenge of using verbal and written language to analyse a visual form. Dana Arnold also examines the many different ways of writing about art, and the changing boundaries of the subject of art history. Topics covered include the canon of Art History, the role of the gallery, 'blockbuster' exhibitions, the emergence of social histories of art (Feminist Art History or Queer Art History, for example), the impact of photography, and the development of Art History using artefacts such as the altarpiece, the portrait, or pornography, to explore social and cultural issues such as consumption, taste, religion, and politics. Importantly, this book explains how the traditional emphasis on periods and styles originates in western art production and can obscure other critical approaches, as well as art from non western cultures.
