Description

How can you tell a Cubist painting from an Impressionist one? Whats so romantic about Romantic art? In language fit for a young audience and with a focus on developing their artistic sensibilities, Art World introduces readers to major movements in Western art. An eye-catching design encourages close inspection of great works of art, and a personal tone invites reflection on the feelings those pieces evoke. Each book ends with a portrait of a famous artist from the genre. With prompting questions and historical background, an early reader comes face to face with famous works of Impressionist art and is encouraged to identify light and shadow and consider feelings evoked. Includes TOC, maps, diagrams, glossary, book references, websites, and index. Full-color photographs and reproductions throughout.
